A multi-talented personality, Mr. Sunil Naidu sat with us over a cup of cappuccino to talk about his life and the various roles he has to play on a daily basis. Being a manager to celebrities he shares how they’ve become his family.

Well, I started off my career as a professional cricketer representing the State of Hyderabad in the U-19’s, 22’s and 25’s. I did my MBA in Strategic Marketing and Sports Management from UTS, Sydney, post which, I started off working with Deccan Chargers and then drifted to Sunrisers Hyderabad and was Heading the Marketing & Operations for the Franchise during my tenure out there. I later shifted to the entertainment field wherein I started off representing Mr. Allu Arjun and was handling his Brand Endorsements and then started to increase my portfolio with other Stars from the South like Mr. Varun Tej, Mr. Dharam Tej, Mr. Vijay Sethupathi, and Ms. Nidhi Agrawal to name a few. Now I deal with Infilm Marketing, Movie Syndication, Brand Endorsements & Individual Strategies for Development, Marketing Strategy & Promotions of Movies. What is a typical day like in your life? Well, most of my days start off with calls and a lot happens on the phone. I meet my clients and then accordingly plan their strategies and go into execution for the same. Everyday I look for opportunities that benefit my clients and go forward with what’s best for the perception around them. 22 MARCH, 2020 TULIP
