About me

Having been rewarded for his idiosyncratic presentation of the game with the Ramnath Goenka Award for excellence in Journalism by the President of India, HE APJ Abdul Kalam, Gautam has seamlessly translated his trademark wit and presence of mind from his television presence to successfully hosting, creating and curating events for multiple brands both in India and overseas.

From the lanes of Lucknow to posh Park Lane in London, his assignments transcend genre and
Geography. The nature of the events he has hosted includes art and memorabilia auctions, brand
launches, press conferences, dealer meets, corporate award ceremonies, offsite conferences, celebrity meet and greets, specialized quizzes on business, sport and fashion and theme parties.

Apart from his humour, what sets him apart is his chemistry with co hosts, comfort level with celebrities from the film, sport and corporate world and interaction with sharply contrasting audiences be it preschool kids, rural dealers and distributors, IIM students or the urban Glitterati.
Apart from every corner of rural and urban India, he has played host in Sydney, London, Dubai, Vienna, Cape Town, Colombo, Macau, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur.

Clients include AT&T, Adidas, Fashion Design Council of India, IIFA, Reliance, Reebok, Airtel, Vodafone, Castrol, McDowell’s, Daikin, ESPN, Force India, Pepsi, Panasonic, HTC Touch, Jet Airways, Levis, Nokia, Maruti Suzuki, Kingfisher, Birla Sun Life, IDBI Federal, Quikr.com and Tourism Australia. He has also hosted stage shows/meet & greets for almost all the IPL franchises between 2008 and 2015.

He has been the master of ceremonies at prominent book launches, including Chetan Bhagat’s
Three Mistakes Of My Life and Jaswant Singhs Travels In Transoxiana.

In 2008, he was specially invited to be the host of the Dhirubhai Ambani Cricket Celebrations in
Jamnagar, an event hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Mukesh Ambani. He was a special invitee as well as
the on-field host and commentator for the 2010 IIFA Awards Cricket Match with Mandira Bedi,
Javed Jaffrey and Chunky Pandey. Other notable co-hosts include Shenaz Treasurywala,
Perizaad Zorabian, Perizaad Kolah, Gauhar Khan, Vidya Malavde, Shibani Kashyap, Hazel Keech
and Maria Goretti.
