About Maniesh Paul
Maniesh Paul is among the most booked stage anchors in India. He has hosted the International Indian Film Academy awards and Filmfare, along with a long list of brand launches and cultural events in India and abroad. He started in Hindi television, moved into films with credits including Mickey Virus and Jugjugg Jeeyo, and has held television lead roles along the way.
Over the last few years he has added a second career in audio with The Maniesh Paul Podcast, where actors, athletes and founders sit for long conversations. That shift from stage and screen to long-form interviewing gives him a current, first-person view of how entertainers build new formats around an existing audience.
For an organiser he offers two things: a host who can hold a large hall with script and improvisation, and a speaker who explains the discipline behind live performance. He talks about reading a room, timing, preparation and recovering from a moment that goes wrong, in Hindi, English or Punjabi. Sales conferences, award nights and founder's day programmes get a performer who treats the audience as the job.
