The Genesis of Sixteen by Sixty-four Media
In 2013, Keyur co-founded Sixteen by Sixty-four Media Pvt.

Under his leadership, the company quickly grew into a powerhouse of ideas and execution. What started as a boutique outfit evolved into one of the country’s most respected solution providers in media and entertainment, brand strategy, content creation, films, and large-format events and concerts.
Keyur’s vision extended beyond just managing events or producing content. He believed in storytelling as a unifying theme across all mediums—whether it’s a product launch, a short film, a brand activation, or a stadium-sized concert. This philosophy has helped the company execute memorable experiences that go beyond logistics and leave lasting emotional impressions.
