Ranveer Allahbadia
YouTuber and Entrepreneur, Founder Monk Entertainment
Starting his journey from being a freshly out of school, young engineering college student to becoming a huge media sensation is not something he envisioned for himself. Ranveer turned his life around after suffering from depression by diverting his energy towards creating positive content that originally dealt with documenting his fitness journey on his YouTube channel back in 2015. He stands as a beautiful example of how one can convert their biggest weaknesses into their strength. "When you hit the rock bottom, you can only move upwards from there". His channel immediately caught the attention of his demographic. Now his videos not only surround fitness but are ventured into varied topics like entrepreneurship, men's fashion, grooming and most importantly, sensitive topics like mental health. Today, Ranveer has three YouTube channels that cater to a specific demographic each, helping him reach a wider audience via his videos. His new channel, Ranveer Allahbadia is a huge hit amongst his Hindi speaking audiences and has garnered close to 2 million followers in just one year! Over the span of merely 4 years, he has accumulated over 7 Million followers across different social platforms.
After his career as a digital content creator took off, Ranveer decided to extend himself towards helping more budding creators build a place for themselves in the digital world. With a vision to collectively grow with people sharing similar age and mindset, Ranveer (then 24) and his friend Viraj Sheth (then 22) started a digital entertainment start-up based in Mumbai called Monk Entertainment in early 2018.
This youth-driven company deals with everything from content creation, digital talent management, social media management, brand marketing to video production, their uniqueness being developing and establishing personal relations with each brand and talent while simultaneously creating a healthy and lively work environment. Ranveer's role in Monk-E entails extensively grooming budding digital talents that the company scouts for on a regular basis, mentoring them to become established digital creators and build sustainable brands out of themselves.
A bootstrapped company, Monk-E has successfully grown 350% from the last financial year. It has expanded from a garage setup of a team of 3to an office set up in the Prabhadevi area of Mumbai with more than 35 loyal employees today, all in just a span of two years.The company manages renowned talents like Be YouNick, JS Films, AkshBaghla, Radhika Bangia and has successfully executed brand launches and digital marketing campaigns for clients like Nykaa, Edelweiss, Groww, Sony Music, Marico, Tinder and many more.
One of the lesser-known facts is that Ranveer is also on the committee of Soho House in Mumbai with the likes of Siddharth Roy Kapur, Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, A.D Singh, Shashi Sarvesh, etc. A "home away from home", Soho House was founded in London, is designed to provide a space for like-minded creative people working in the industry since 1995.
Recently, he started The Ranveer Show, which is currently trending #1 Indian podcast on Spotify All-India Podcast Charts. It is India's first long-format podcast with an aim to dig deep into the mindset of successful and path-breaking individuals and has already collaborated with international icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, Priyanka Chopra, Saif Ali Khan, Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Ayushmann Khurana, Boman Irani, Shilpa Shetty, DJ Bravo, Luke Coutinho, and many others. In the coming future, he plans on having more episodes with celebrated artists, entrepreneurs, and individuals who choose the road less taken. The podcast dabbles into various topics like money, health, business, fame, spirituality, finance and a lot more. With this podcast, Ranveer is looking forward to being a changemaker in the podcast space in India, aiming at around 1000 episodes in the coming years.
Ranveer has also been the face of the digital campaigns for Gillette for 2 years at a stretch amassing 7 million+ views. He has worked with several other reputed brands like Skechers, BrandUSA, Skoda, Flipkart, CRED, Cadbury, and Disney.
Bestowed with multiple awards including MTV IWM Youth Influencer of the Year 2019, Cosmopolitan Best Fashion Influencer 2019, Vidooly: Video Content Creator of the Year fashion (Gold winner), Exhibit Fashion Influencer (Gold winner), Exhibit Top 100 Digital Influencer and Rashtriya Gaurav Award for Men's Fashion Icon of the Year (BeerBiceps), Ranveer continues to grow in the untapped market in India. He is a true reflection of the growth and a testament that the next time you tell yourself you want to be someone, all you have to do is believe that you have the power to be that someone.
Ranveer soon aims to release his first book, personal perfume line and is also working on other avenues for growing his business and is profusely challenging his entrepreneurial side.
