Paritosh Anand
Imagine a young 12 year old kid, wandering about during the school recess all my himself, because he doesn’t really have that friend’s group to play “tiffin cricket” with, no friends to share his meal with.
Imagine the amount of things that the little kid would keep with himself, in his heart, just because he doesn’t have it in himself to speak in public.
That is Paritosh’s childhood summed up in 6 lines.
But, there was this day.
5th September 2013 - when it all changed for him.
He discovered Filmmaking. He discovered that there’s a way to express what you have within without ever having to speak a word - through Visual Storytelling.
And that was it, that became his life’s mission - to create and tell stories via a camera lens.
On learning how to shoot and edit, this became his forte. He got extremely popular on the social media for his raw and unfiltered style of storytelling, the style of which was quickly adopted by a wide range of creators throughout the country.
In 2020, he noticed this wide gap in the market.
Paritosh saw that there are a lot of people who know how to make good videos, but to find people who know how to tell great stories? It’s close to impossible.
That’s when he gave birth to WeSmile Media - an agency that set out to create stories for Brands and Creators like never before.
What started with a simple mission to create spectacular stories expanded to helping creators and brands go viral on the social media with Paritosh’s unique experience with the internet in the past 7 years.
You’ll still find Paritosh enjoying his time all by himself, just like that 12 year old kid who preferred sitting in a corner enjoying the meal that his mother made for him by waking up at 5am in the morning.
A lot has changed in all these years, but, the will to create and tell magical stories?
It was, is and will always be the same.
That’s Paritosh Anand for you,
A Creator, an Entrepreneur, a Public Speaker, a Musician
But most importantly
A Storyteller.

about us
How we all met
This is quite a strange story, to be honest.
We were 5 boys from different corners of this country, but all of us were working in and out of Mumbai for a few months in 2021.
We had a bunch of projects for a bunch of clients that we were working on.
I still remember how exciting those days were,
Hopping AirBnB’s every other day, figuring out places to stay, waking up to a new challenge every single day, flying back to our hometowns only to realise that there’s another project that’s come up which is why we’ll have to come back to Mumbai - it was really fun!
But then, something magical happens.
Imagine 5 boys from completely different cities sitting on a bench in the most expensive city in the world, with one of them having this crazy idea after they wrapped one of their most exciting projects together.
Each of them has a flight to catch the next day that would take them back home.
But then, that one crazy idea …
“Bhai, wapas kyu jaana hai? Yahi ruk jaate hai na?”
And that was it.
5 boys from different corners of the country decide to live under one roof and work on the same mission - Creating Magical Stories.
That’s how we met,
That’s how we turned the baby that Paritosh founded, into this man that’s taken the world by a storm.
