Beat 45 teams with a real ad for a real client

The brief: build a working ad campaign for The Pant Project and pitch it to their CMO. I directed, produced and edited ours. First place out of 45 teams, judged under Prof. Tim Calkins of Kellogg.

Go Zero case challenge

Pitching a founder his own summer campaign

Kiran Shah, founder of Go Zero, sent a case before his guest visit. With Risheek Nawka I built the full pitch and presented it to him in class.

After the pitch

Then I pitched him my own idea

One-on-one after class, I ran an FMCG idea I had been sitting on past Kiran. He was blunt. Exactly what you want from a founder who has done it.

The internship with hammocks in the office

A surf school on the Arabian Sea coast instead of a corporate office. I built their scooty rental website and ran bookings on the backend.

Most weeks

On my feet, pitching

The default state at Mesa. If a week goes by without presenting something to somebody, something has gone wrong.

Not an achievement. A conversation that stuck.

Yash was rejected by Shark Tank India four years in a row, then got offers from all five sharks. "Jab sahi time aata hai, tab hi milta hai."

Three weeks as a volunteer, a lesson in scale

Pitched sponsors I had never approached and watched what holds a 5,000 attendee event together. Favorite moment: talking AI with Anshumani Ruddra of Google.

About

Portrait of Nimitt Jain in a dark suit

Hi, I'm Nimitt. I learn by shipping. Every venture on this page started as a question I could only answer by building the thing.

I study Business Management and Entrepreneurship at MESA School of Business, Bangalore, alongside Digital Business and Entrepreneurship at IIM Bangalore, both batch of 2029. Before that, Head Prefect and Science Club President at Cambridge Court World School, Jaipur.

Off the clock I am on stage with the theatre club, behind a camera, or in the kitchen. Photography, cinematography and cooking are how I think when I am not working.
