When Rohan Kale was 22 he had a debt of €25,000+. It was a struggle - but the best stories are about struggle. Growing up an engineering student in India, he made some bad decisions in his 20’s and ended up gambling. He was dissatisfied with his job. Disillusioned with the way things worked. So - to distract himself – he hung out with some people he really shouldn’t have. He lost a lot of money. €25,000+, to be exact.

He took out an education loan and traveled 6,700km to Germany to pursue my MBA and forge a career, away from home and all his old temptations.

Rohan worked hard - and it paid off. He won a job in Daimler’s Sales and Marketing Department, and within a short amount of time, he was able to pay off all his debts.

Rowan began to explore different possibilities - and it wasn’t long before he realized there was a gap in the market for professional-looking animations that could solve every problem from explaining how to use a piece of software to telling a brand’s story.

Together Rowan and his team have helped global brands across industries like software, financial services, web development, app companies, non-profits, retail

and more to present their brand stories in a way that resonates with their target audience - and entertains as well as informs. They have served hundreds of businesses all over the world. Animated millions of frames. Produced thousands of scripts - and they are just getting started.

Listen and Learn:

  • Discover the role video plays in marketing.
  • How to take a step back and decide what makes you happy.
  • How every business can benefit from having a video that explains their values.
  • What Rowan Kale's goals are for his video business.
