Prakash Ramchandani

I’m Prakash Ramchandani, founder of BuddyGuru, a culture-tech startup that’s redefining the way local celebrity artists share their craft.

Through our mobile platform, we aim to democratize culture and art, making it accessible to all by connecting users with their favorite artists. Before BuddyGuru, I founded Metaplay Pte Ltd, establishing teams in Singapore and India to drive digital transformation in the media landscape.

Over my career, I’ve held P&L responsibilities across subscription-based businesses in India, Australia, and Singapore, playing a key role in the growth of startups and major global media brands transitioning to digital. I’m passionate about consumer-centric and revenue-driven strategies, and my expertise spans business partnerships, digital product development, operations, and content strategy.

At The Walt Disney Company, I led the launch of Disney+ operations in Southeast Asia, driving content strategy, subscription growth, and partnerships with Telcos while enhancing customer experiences. Earlier, I helped launch FOX+ across APAC and the Middle East, overseeing P&L, team building, telco partnerships, and digital products for FOX Networks Group.

In India, I spearheaded operations for Spuul, a global video streaming pioneer, handling content acquisition worldwide. I also consulted with Mindvalley, an ed-tech company, where I focused on membership experiences, content development, international growth, and partnerships.

With a background in strategic marketing, I’ve worked on high-profile campaigns, including advertising for Procter & Gamble with DMBB, promoting the ICC Cricket World Cup with Sony Max, and managing Win Corporation’s pay TV marketing in Australia. Throughout my journey, I’ve remained committed to driving innovation and growth in the digital and media sectors, always with a focus on enriching consumer experiences.
