In a recent LinkedIn post, Karishma Mehta sheds light on the dedication and multifaceted contributions of two key members of the Humans of Bombay (HOB) team, Tushar Bisht and Kaustubh Dere, celebrating their one-year work anniversary.
Karishma Mehta, who leads creative operations at HOB, used the platform to draw attention to the often-unseen individuals behind the camera who are crucial to the organization’s success. She emphasizes that while their work might be familiar to audiences, their personal stories and the sheer effort they put in are frequently overlooked.
“You’ve seen their work a hundred times, but not them. Because Tushar Bisht and Kaustubh Dere are the two people behind the camera… the DOPs who’ve shot almost every frame you’ve watched from Humans of Bombay this past year…this week, they both completed one year with us!”
The Unsung Heroes of Storytelling
Karishma Mehta’s post underscores the demanding nature of the work involved in creating content for Humans of Bombay. She details the long hours and intense schedules faced by Bisht and Dere, highlighting their unwavering commitment and positive attitude.
According to Karishma Mehta, the energy and team spirit these individuals bring to set are infectious and vital for maintaining productivity. She notes their resilience, stating:
“There have been days where we’ve wrapped past midnight and started again as early as 6 am the next morning. And not once could you tell how tired they were. The energy they bring into a room is so positive, so full of team spirit, that the whole set runs on it.”
Beyond the Job Description: Versatility and Growth
