About Neelesh Misra
Neelesh Misra is a Hindi storyteller, journalist and lyricist. He is best known for Yaadon Ka Idiotbox with Neelesh Misra, a long-running radio programme whose short stories reached tens of millions of listeners across the Hindi belt. He has written lyrics for Hindi films including Jab We Met and Rustom. As a journalist he reported through India's conflict years for the Hindustan Times and the Associated Press, and later founded Gaon Connection, a news platform for rural India.
His YouTube series The Slow Interview has become a signature long-form Hindi conversation, built on patience and listening rather than sound bites. Across radio, print and video, his work is concerned with the same thing: the lives of small-town and rural India, told with care and without condescension.
He speaks on the craft of Hindi storytelling, the India that lives outside the metros, and how voice and narrative shape trust, in journalism and in a brand alike. On stage he is warm and unhurried, and his voice alone can hold a hall. He suits annual conferences, media and culture festivals and corporate events in the Hindi heartland where the organiser wants an evening that feels different from a standard keynote.
