Content Curator. Film-maker. Farmland Nomad.

'Kurious Kucumber' a.k.a. 'KK' as called within his work circle, at 21, Krishnakant started his career in advertising (Ogilvy, India). While in this creative sphere, he traveled the stretch of India for over 1200 days & touched a billion lives working in urban to extreme media dark markets, learning consumption patterns & designing behavior change operations. With an under-budget camera, he was lucky enough to document every day of his travel life which pretty much results in what he does now!

 

An independent content curator and film-maker, in the last two years, he has not only created over 100 digital films and content pieces but also built impulsive strategies and campaigns to rightly deliver and create consumer engagement. His portfolio stretched right from conceptualizing an idea to bringing that very thought into reality. A staunch believer in disruptive marketing strategies, he has launched and worked with varied recognized start-ups to MNCs in India and South Asia. An avid backpacker himself, he has also partnered and launched multiple tourism-based projects targeting national and International travelers to establish the soul idea of 'Travel with impact'. 

 

Currently, he's back to base at Ogilvy as a Content Curator, setting up a content studio that will scout stories and deliver mass engagement. He was also recently nominated as Forbes 30 under 30 India - 2020.

 

An Electronics engineer and author of a colloquial fiction novel - 'The Exclamator', when not working, he would exert on the basketball court, blend new coffee recipes or learn his newfound lingo love – Spanish. (In his expedition to learn the top 5 most spoken languages in the world)
