Kausik brings over 15 years of leadership experience across content, marketing and PR. He joins BigTrunk after an extensive tenure at Zee Entertainment Enterprises (ZEEL), where he most recently served as Head of Non-Fiction Content for Zee TV, the network’s flagship Hindi general entertainment channel. During his time at ZEEL, Kausik played a pivotal role in building and scaling some of Indian television’s most iconic non-fiction IPs, including Dance India Dance, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Zee Rishtey Awards, and Zee Cine Awards. He was also instrumental in expanding flagship properties into multi-platform ecosystems across television and digital platforms.
