Bio

Manohar loves, thrives & engages communities. He is the community manager at a fintech startup and has recently produced a documentary. He is an engineering walk-out and a self-taught media professional. Having worked on TV shows and documentaries for a decade in the cities of Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Manohar identifies his mission to create knowledge resources and content promoting civic action across mediums and platforms powered via community. A researcher at heart, he looks at third places & placemaking, Indian Railways and campus culture in colleges with great curiosity, and enthusiastically advocates the role of gap-years and free learning in (and out of) the campus experience. Motivated to work at the confluence of education, media and politics, Manohar dreams of running a community space around citizen engagement. When not working, he can be found scouting cafes, talking to strangers on streets and trains or finding new people, ideas and enterprises online.
