I am Rakesh, a seasoned Video Editor with over 15 years of experience across media, digital content, education, and political communication sectors. Since beginning my career in 2009, I have built a strong foundation in storytelling, post-production, and high-quality video editing across multiple languages including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada. My journey started at Ramoji Film City, where I spent 8 years working on various television channels under leading media networks. During this time, I developed expertise in broadcast-quality editing and gained deep insights into content production workflows. In 2017, I transitioned into the digital space, working with the YouTube channel Social Post. There, I specialized in creating fast-paced, engaging, and viral content. I also gained hands-on experience in YouTube optimization, thumbnail design, motion graphics, and short-form storytelling. From 2019 to 2021, I worked as an in-house Video Editor at Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul School, where I produced educational and devotional content, edited lectures, and documented cultural events while maintaining a clean and value-driven visual style. In 2021, I joined the Congress party’s digital wing, Inclusive Minds, contributing to political campaigns, rally coverage, interviews, and promotional videos. I worked under tight deadlines to deliver impactful and persuasive content for public engagement. From November 2022, I have been part of the BJP media team under Nation with NaMo, creating high-impact political content including speeches, reels, campaign videos, and event coverage. I collaborate closely with strategists to ensure timely delivery and consistent messaging. Currently, since July 2024, I am working with Pocket FM, focusing on AI-driven video content creation. Alongside my traditional editing expertise, I am highly skilled in modern AI-powered creative tools such as Runway, Leonardo AI, LTX Studio, Veo2, and Ideogram. I also have advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Canva, and Illustrator. With a strong blend of creative storytelling, technical expertise, and adaptability to new technologies, I bring speed, innovation, and versatility to every project I work on.
