WHAT WE DO & WHY

COZM’s mission is to maximize human creative expression. Especially of those individuals who have long dreamt and fantasized about creating art, knowledge and things, but have been unable to do so due to lack of support and access to means.

​

The mission statement is inspired by the challenges faced by our founder, Palash Kulkarni, which is me. Hi!

 

I have been obsessed with arts, culture and media for over a decade, but it’s only now that I am allowing it to consume me fully, personally and professionally. I graduated from IIT Bombay in 2015, worked as a Management Consultant with Bain & Company for 4 years, followed by a stint with Disney + Hotstar and Rainshine Entertainment. Since then, I have written, directed and produced a wide-range of content properties.

​

Having worked in the creative industry for 4 years now, I have come to the sullen conclusion that one is more likely to find truly creative people outside the industry than within it. Highly creative people walk among us, they work in corporate offices, they go watch films alone in a theatre, they create stuff on weekends that no one else cares about. If they were to be given a freehand, the right tools and support to express themselves, our world will be richer, happier and better. This is our mission, simply put.

​

For now, we are focused on producing podcasts and medium-form videos. Very soon, we will diversify into all kinds of things – from board games to short films, from music videos to brand stories.
