1 Company Overview

Only Much Louder (OML Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.) is a Mumbai-headquartered, full-service creative and entertainment business network that has instigated pop culture for over two decades. The company was co-founded in 2002 by Vijay Nair as India's first independent artist management firm focused on indie bands. Under subsequent leadership — including current CEO Tusharr Kumar (since 2024) and Chief Growth Officer Devarshi Shah (since Jul 2025) — OML has scaled into a ₹300+ crore company managing 100+ creators.

OML is celebrated for creating Bacardi NH7 WeekenderIndia's first multi-genre music festival. They also produce Comic Con India (multiple city editions), manage Comedy Central & stand-up artist rosters, and run branded content campaigns for Canva, Bombay Shaving Company, Netflix India, and more. They won the first-ever Branded Content and Entertainment Cannes Lion for 'Dewarists'.

Important caution: Ex-CEO Vijay Nair was arrested by the CBI in October 2022 in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case. He is no longer an employee or board member of OML. Approach Tusharr Kumar or Devarshi Shah directly.

🎯 Why this matters for Pixel Hues: OML is the architect of India's youth/alternative culture. NH7 Weekender + Comic Con India = large-scale music + pop-culture events needing premium immersive stage design, fan-engagement tech, AR/photo-op installations, projection mapping. Their branded content division (Devarshi Shah's old wing) creates Cannes-grade work — Pixel Hues plugs in as the tech arm.

6 Why OML is a PRIORITY Lead for Pixel Hues

  1. NH7 Weekender + Comic Con = recurring immersive-stage partner opportunities
  2. Cannes Lion pedigree: OML has the creative vision; Pixel Hues brings the tech
  3. Creator economy + branded content: Devarshi Shah's division is hungry for unique immersive content
  4. 100+ creators managed: Each creator's content could use projection mapping / AR activations
  5. Post-leadership stabilisation: Tusharr Kumar + Devarshi Shah are the new power duo — early BD partnership now = first-mover advantage
Recommended founder-to-founder pitch (Ajay → Tusharr Kumar):

"Tusharr-ji, Ajay here, Pixel Hues, Delhi. Massive congratulations on scaling OML to ₹300+ crore and the Cannes Lion for Dewarists. The next 24 months are about deepening the creator economy + premium stage design — and that's exactly where Pixel Hues plugs in.

Three angles for collaboration:
  1. NH7 Weekender stage design: Multi-stage immersive environments. We did BMW India anamorphic for X1 launch + HCL immersive content. Anamorphic stage backdrops, kinetic typography, live-art installations — across 4 city editions.
  2. Comic Con immersive zones: AR photo-ops + projection-mapped character reveals + interactive installations. Sponsorship-friendly content.
  3. Cannes Lion 2026 co-submission: Your creative direction + our tech = joint Branded Content Lion. We're happy to do this on a partnership basis.
