Hii, I am Sidharth Pillai.

I was around 6yrs old,
When I saw my life’s first theatre drama at a temple in Kottayam, Kerala produced by my Uncle who owned a theatre drama company then. He would often travel across Kerala with his team of 25+ artists, musicians, writers, and others. He produced some of the most impeccable theatre dramas of those times which were performed in over 200+ stages across Kerala. I was fortunate to be born into a family where I was surrounded by actors, singers, writers, directors, and other creatively genius people since childhood.

Many years down the lane,
I was appointed as the Cultural Secretary at SIES College of ASC, Mumbai during my 2nd Year of BCom. Our college was at the epicentre of Mumbai & was a true example of multi-lingual & multi-cultural students studying under one roof. Though unexpectedly, the next two years were filled with organising cultural events and helping talented students perform at inter-collegial festivals. Being the College Representative for SIES ASC at Mumbai University Festival and Chairperson for Visions Intercollegiate Student Festival, gave me more valuable and enriching experiences. I got to meet some of the most wonderful students in my life during those 3yrs of college. It helped me understand what it means to lead a team and how building something great begins from building a great team.

Two years further down the lane,
I joined NOFILTR - an influencer incubation company and started working with content creators from Youtube, Instagram & TikTok. Before NOFILTR, I understood what creativity was and how content creates value in form of entertainment but never thought about the monetization side of the entertainment value created. During my 2yrs, I got the chance to figure out the monetization side of creative endeavours that introduced me to influencer marketing. I worked with approximately 86+ top-tier creators and 18+ brands creating sponsored content that were viewed by millions of viewers & fans across India. Also, I got to work alongside few creators in helping them build their brand and brainstorm over fun projects that brought them closer to their fans.

In January 2021,
I decided to go independent and started out with my own venture ORYGN. with the sole purpose to help more passion-driven individuals & brands to achieve their goals. Currently working towards the same.
