Mubin Tisekar Profile
Risk taker. Intrepid traveller. A true-blue comedy diehard.
Experimentalist. Animal lover. Solitude seeker. But, most
importantly, an entrepreneur with a vision — Mubin Tisekar dons several hats on
a daily basis. However, if there’s
one role that he identifies himself with most, it’s got to be the one as the
CEO of his solo venture, The Entertainment Factory.
Mubin started off as a 20-year-old wide-eyed foray
into the entertainment business. Since then he has been participating actively
in the curation aspect in London and India within the entertainment and event
management scene. The Mumbai boy did not take long to understand what his
calling was. "I was a member of The London Comedy Store. The visibility
and the chance seemed like a gift that emerged from the blue, because it gave
me a glimpse into the stand-up comedy. They were the men who took comedy to
India," he explained.
Prior to that, Mubin was part of a comedy
store and then proceeded to become a member of Canvas Club. He was awarded the Young Programmer in Comedy and
Theatre genre. Despite his gratitude for the knowledge he had gained,
Mubin was quick to notice that something clearly
amassed in his growth graph.
He shares, “During my
stint as a programming head, I realised there were a lot of restrictions. For instance, I remember not being
allowed to ever accommodate space for Hindi shows, despite my requests and observations that Hindi shows would work.
He further expresses,
“The very realisation also led me into starting up and stressing importance on the fact
that every youngster with an idea out there needs to start out. You
cannot rely on your job solely for creative satisfaction if that’s what you’re
looking for. ”
Though Mubin still thinks there is a long way to go, his solo venture
promises to have a couple of chuckles at dirt cheap prices. The Entertainment
Factory also makes unique arrangements to provide a forum for emerging artists
to develop their talents.
He states that, “I’d like to believe
that this is a venture that aims to
offer quality entertainment in the form of well-thought off budget-friendly
gigs. The right to entertainment is
not exclusive anymore. For as little as 300, I’d want youngsters to come and
enjoy a comedy gig or a DJ night
for that matter — with international artistes around. Because, at some point, that’s
exactly what I was on the lookout for”
Despite work keeping him on his toes, the 28-year-old
likes to take advantage of his other passions whenever time allows. Signing off he says, “I have an amazing team, and
they really make all the difference. But, when I’m off the (professional radar) I make time for my ground
training. I'm usually a sucker for solitude, I love spending time with myself. I’m a big fan of air shows. I love
travelling. I love automobiles – aircraft and everything in
between,”.
