Bureau Media Ventures launches as India’s first venture studio and fund

Bureau Media Ventures (The Bureau) launches today with a simple thesis: the creator is the new company. India is the world's most watched digital market, yet it has not produced a single creator-originated brand that has grown into a global media franchise. The Bureau exists to change that.

The Bureau is a venture studio and fund built specifically for creators. It partners with India's top digital talent to help them grow from a one-person channel into a full media franchise — with the ownership, structure, and business model to match.

"India has produced creators the world watches. What we haven't built yet are the institutions behind them — the IP, the ownership, and the infrastructure that lets a creator's work outlast any single platform or trend. This isn't a talent gap. It's an infrastructure gap. We're here to close it," said Angad Bhatia, Founder and CEO, Bureau Media Ventures.

Tarkeshwar Singh, Partner at Bureau Media, sharing the announcement on LinkedIn, described the launch as one of the most emotional milestones of his career. Singh said Bureau Media Ventures aims to help digital creators grow as partners rather than simply being part of a talent roster.

He added, “The road ahead won't be easy. Building never is. But it's a lot more exciting when you're surrounded by people who've built successful businesses before and believe in the same vision. Grateful to have incredible partners like Atul Rai, Sean Hyams, and Ayush Guha on this journey, along with the constant guidance and support of Angad Bhatia.”

The Bureau is founded and run by people who have built inside India’s creator and digital media industry for over a decade - not investors looking in from outside it.

• Angad Bhatia (Founder) — a serial entrepreneur with a decade-plus track record scaling digital media, creator and D2C brands in India.
• Ayush Guha (Co-Founder) — a first-generation builder of India's creator economy, having scaled leading creator infrastructures and the stars that came out of them.
• Sean Hyams (Co-Founder) — builds the audience and the fandom that outlasts it.

"India's creators are rented, not built. This market pays for their attention one campaign at a time, and most of that value disappears the moment the campaign ends. The Bureau is built to compound it instead. We've spent a decade building the infrastructure behind India's creator economy — now we're using it to turn an audience into an enterprise the creator actually owns, one that keeps earning long after the billing stops. The rest of this market sells reach. We build the balance sheet under it," said said Ayush Guha, Co-Founder, Bureau Media Ventures.

"Every creator I've met has been told their window is short — a couple of good years, maybe five if they're lucky, then it's someone else's turn. We don't believe that. An audience isn't a moment, it's an asset — and when you build the fandom instead of just renting the attention, it keeps compounding long after the algorithm moves on. We're partnering with creators across India to prove exactly that," said Sean Hyams, Co-Founder, Bureau Media Ventures.

Together, the three have worked alongside each other for years and bring a compiled skill set- media scaling, creative strategy , and commercial infrastructure built specifically for this moment In India’s creator economy.

The Bureau's first creative campus is now open in Gurgaon, housing production studios, collaboration hubs, editorial bays, and member rooms. It is designed as a space where creators can co-create, connect, learn, and grow as founders of the businesses driving creative culture forward. Campuses in Mumbai and Bengaluru are in development.
