Beginning of Heek Entertainment

His content slowly started getting viral and started getting amazing responses. Many Fintech and Neo Banks contacted him because they liked his content & wanted to sponsor videos on his channel.
Varundeep came in touch with them, started talking. He always made plans about games, matches etc. so, this time he made a plan & strategy for a brand and they liked it, when implemented it got great results and ROI. So, he thought why not to start his own company which provides Influencer marketing to brands (help them to grow) and at the same time work with creators (YouTubers) after that a step led to another.
It was the initial months of 2021 when Varundeep approached to Prafulla and they discussed about Heek Entertainment. Prafulla really liked the vision that Varundeep holds and this vision made Prafulla a Co-founder at Heek Entertainment.

Prafulla was the first one to join Heek Entertaiment and the biggest challenge for him was to find the finest talents in India who are as young as they are and how they can build a team of passionate and energetic people who will be responsible for day-to-day tasks of the company.

Family Support in their Startup journey
