More about Megha Thakker
Media professional | Unbeatable energy bomb on stage (super experienced EMCEE-premium corporate & social events | Certified soft skills trainer | Communication Consultant | Talk-show host | Digital junkie.
AS A CHILD- I always came up with boring & quite a borrowed, hereditary kind of an answer when it came to my career goal. I thought, if nothing, I shall practice law (as my family has 13 lawyers including my parents & elder brother). If not for law, I'll apply as a professor of social science at some college (Oh yea, mom & grandpa happened to be celebrated orators & activists all their lives).
But, I somehow grew up to be a shy kid with great amount of stage fright, when away from my comfort zone.
WHAT HELPED ME PURSUE MY SECRET DREAM-
Did theatres for 3 years & life took a U-turn!
In due course, I became what I secretly dreamt of as a kid from the 90s, but lacked the confidence to share it publicly (dreamt of becoming a news-reader with some top channel).
Cut to 2007, I was hosting SRK for a national event, attended by thousands of fans which got covered by all top news channels including the Stars, Times & Zees of the world.
Eventually, I turned out to be a thorough media professional with an experience into print-electronic-audio & web media starting 2006.
WHY ME-
Passionate about growing teams and dreams? You have stopped by the right profile. From state-national-international NGO & Govt. events, multiple fortune 500 companies & numerous sports gatherings, corporate events, big fat destination weddings, products & services launches, inaugurations, awards nights & annual meet-ups! You name it & I have held the mic for all.
TILL NOW-
Have been a consistently top-voted RJ with Mirchi for 8.5 years.
Associated with 7 national TV Channels as a freelance TV show host, over the past few years.
Web-show called India Film Project TalkShop on YouTube & Gaana Originals attracted around 2 million eyes and ears.
Have hosted a LIVE chat-show series from Facebook, India headquarters.
Have lifetime memories & privilege of hosting & interviewing top Bollywood stars like senior & junior Bachhan, Shahrukh/Aamir/Salman Khan, AkshayKumar, AjayDevgan, ShahidKapoor, AyushmannKhurrana, Akhtars, VickyKaushal, RajkumarRao, MadhuriDixit, KatrinaKaif, AishwaryaRai, PankajTripathi, NawazuddinSiddiqui & more than 200+ top notch big and small screen actors, film-directors & YouTubers.
Based out of Ahmedabad, but my work takes me across borders.
Rationalist | Egalitarian | Eco-warrior (considering my 1st job was with CEE).
When not romancing the microphone I will be found playing TT or badminton, listening to an audio book, binging YouTube or Netflix & often found dreaming about my next holiday!
