From a single format show, the IP has evolved into multiple formats including Arenas, Club Nights, Campus Tours and Occasions. In the past six months the brand expanded beyond a ground entertainment show to a 360-degree experience through the launch of Bollyboom Clubs across Mumbai and Goa. I am excited to join the team in the midst of such a rapid Business Transformation as we expand the IP across formats and geographies, as also expand our Digital Footprint to become Bollywood’s first holistic Digital Content Company. I look forward to using the current size and scale of the IP to propel us to a faster growth trajectory to ensure Bollyboom becomes a holistic aspirational 360-degree on-ground * online lifestyle brand for its fan community.”

I'm thrilled to have Anant Srivastava as our new COO – Bollyboom, given his rich and diverse exposure, expertise, network and proficiency in the Media and Entertainment domain. Bollyboom is at a pivotal stage of transitioning from a popular on-ground entertainment event to a 360-degree experiential brand even as it expands across formats and geographies, and Anant is just the right person to take Bollyboom into its next glorious phase.”
