- EU VAT specialistBackground:
Living and working in London whilst qualifying as a chartered accountant in audit provided a wonderful insight into the operations of businesses ranging from bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants to taxi firms, banks, charities and the like, all over the UK. This continued for 6 years which resulted in an opportunity with EMI Music where I stayed for 2 years.With the decline of the then state of the music industry, I chose to embark on my own adventures.I began work with Celldsgn, a design studio:
- developing a bar/restaurant/club/cafe called The Living Room aka TLR Cafe
- consulting with clients such as Levi's, Diesel, GAS denim and Dianese on brand identity and marketing proposals
- working and developing high end luxury brand 11-11.in and assisting in placing this brand at the cutting edge of the scene
- consulting on video shoots, fashion shows, music curation and on ad hoc projects in sync with the Studio's identityI began consulting entirely with The Living Room. From the structure of the venue, colour palette, brand identity/logo, staffing, interior/furniture design, menu conceptualisation/preparation (dish by dish) to the evenings entertainment which occurred almost every night.The venue eventually proved to be a mecca for underground talent, hosting the origins of some of the finest indie artists on the New Delhi music scene: (wwyyzzddrrzz, Reggae Rajahs, The Ska Vengers, Su Real, Dualist Enquiry to name but a few) as well as internationally acclaimed performers (Dharma Bums, Ken Stringfellow, Midival Punditz, Karsh Kale...). The cuisine also received recognition, winning several culinary awards on the way.As a result of this success, further spaces followed; an award winning bakery called Elma's (a going concern and now a family business), a delicatessen (Edward's), a cinebar and grill (Iron Curtain) and a Brasserie (a branch of the original Elma's) plus an artist management and events company (Spiral Seed).I am also a devoted father of 2 beautiful children who live with me. The marriage in India failed and I am now divorced.My qualities: I am adaptable and versatile, good with my hands, organised and self disciplined, a quick learner and greatly enthusiastic about film/television. I believe having me on board would be pure synergy. My focus would be to eventually work front of camera so on-set (within production/operations) would be a much appreciated first step.Links/references:
