Overview

Sole audio contributor. Every sound, every video, every space.

At River Mobility, I owned the company's entire sonic presence — YouTube content, ad campaigns, product launch events, and physical showroom audio across India. Over 18 months, I delivered original music, SFX, and sound design across 90+ branded videos.

My role blended hands-on sound design with creative strategy. Working cross-functionally with branding, marketing, and video teams, I built a sonic system that could scale across formats, platforms, and regions — while remaining unmistakably River.

Philosophy
Use sounds that belong to the place and the people. Local instruments, regional musical traditions — tied together by shared sonic motifs.
Framework
A flexible sonic system that adapted to regional culture while maintaining River's brand personality. Cohesive across 90+ pieces. Never generic.
Beyond Digital
Designed in-store audio for River showrooms across India. Also handled full audio post-production for the product launch event — film and live.

Sonic
Approach

Brand Identity System
01
Rooted in Place
Rather than a single generic audio style, I built a flexible sonic framework that adapted to regional culture — composing with local instruments and musical traditions for each city's launch, while tying everything back to River through shared motifs, energy, and texture.
02
Built to Scale
The sonic framework was designed from day one to scale — across video formats, event contexts, in-store environments, and future products. A system, not just a collection of assets. When someone from that city watches the video, the sound should feel like home.
03
Cross-Functional Creative
Worked directly with branding, marketing, and video teams to translate briefs into cohesive sonic outcomes. Not just execution — active creative direction on music strategy, tone, and emotional intent across every piece of content.
04
Space & Event Audio
Beyond digital — I designed the in-store audio experience for River showrooms across India, shaping how the brand sounds in physical retail. For the product launch event, I handled end-to-end audio post-production for both the launch film and the live event.
