Mumbai: With another weekend upon us, it is time to unwind with the latest Q&A edition of Indiantelevision.com’s Weekend Unwind — a series of informal chats that peek into the minds of business executives through a fun lens in an attempt to get to know the person behind the title a little better.
In this week’s session, we have NoFiltr.Group partner & CEO Mihir Surana.
Surana is responsible for employing his statistical insights at mapping the scalability of the talent being acquired in the organisation. He is hands-on in creating a blueprint and charting the success of the talent. Surana’s quintessential involvement in every aspect of their lives helps him comprehend the nuances of their desired goals.
Surana spearheads a plethora of activities such as devising an exacting vision board, ensuring fitting collaborations, and employing managers to suit the talent’s needs amongst others. Over the course of his tenure, he has worked towards nourishing the talent, enabling them to diversify financially into alternative fitting business opportunities.
Prior to joining NoFiltr.Group, Surana advanced his business by being part of various entrepreneurial ventures and witnessed the advent of his very own events production company, Crossbar Entertainment. He collaborated with profound international artists such as Sean Kingston, Pitbull, Akon, LMFAO, and more along with Indian musical sensation, Arijit Singh. In addition to the ongoing gigs and events at Crossbar Entertainment, Surana advanced his business acumen by firing up a rental photo booth service and simultaneously stepped into the food franchising business as well.
Surana is a BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) graduate from Lala Lajpat Rai College in Mumbai and studied Operation Research and Management Science at Lancaster University in the UK.
He was employed as a research assistant on campus premises and found his way early on, back to the financial capital, and today he marries his passion for number crunching and creativity at NoFiltr.Group.
