During the initial COVID-19 surge, I played a crucial role in producing “IndusInd Bank MyyIndia,” a heartwarming show celebrating local pandemic heroes. This initiative, a collaboration between MyyTake and the Nargis Dutt Foundation, aimed to uplift the nation’s spirit amidst the crisis by sharing inspiring stories of kindness and resilience.

As part of the production team, I managed all technical operations for this 2-hour special featuring celebrity appearances and performances. My primary challenge involved facilitating remote Zoom recordings with high-profile celebrities, while seamlessly coordinating real-time uploads and edits.

Some of the celebrities supporting the show included the likes of Kartik Aaryan, Sara Ali Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Farah Khan, Anil Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Maniesh Paul, Sanjay Dutt, Priya Dutt, Shaan, Alka Yagnik, Sadhana Sargam, Shankar Mahadevan, Shatrughan Sinha, Latha Rajnikant, Neena Gupta, Manish Goel, Rohit Roy, Hiten Tejwani, Hussain Kuwajerwala, Tina Kuwajerwala, Manav Gohil, Ali Asgar, Juhi Parmar and Poonam Narula Goel.

This experience marked my first foray into show production and honed my skills in:

• Remote Production Coordination: Successfully navigating the complexities of remote celebrity recordings under tight deadlines.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Demonstrating adaptability and problem-solving in a fast-paced, live-production environment.
• Team Collaboration: Working effectively within the production team to ensure a smooth broadcast showcasing acts of compassion and hope.
