Uday Sahay
Chairman, Managing Director

An alumni of Delhi School of Economics and JNU, Uday Sahay has worked in advertising and communication for over a decade now.

A voluntarily retired officer of the Indian Police Service from Union Territory cadre, he headed the Directorate of Information and Publicity of Delhi Government and the communication vertical of the Commonwealth Games, 2010 Delhi before founding SAUV Communications Private Limited. A five-year stint in Prasar Bharati converted a baton wielding police officer to a pen holding communicator. So he preferred to become one today - with 3 books now tucked to his sleeves, including one of the best sellers of the year Making News published by Oxford University Press.

A man in search of his North Star in life, he loves to explore the immense possibilities that a life can offer. He is known for his ability to see the big picture and perseverance to value each step. A born dreamer, his inspiration comes from Dostoyevsky who always precipitated crisis to reinvent himself.

Rahul Sahani
Digital Media Partner

Having spent about 7 years in the thick of digital world, both as a senior executive of a leading MNC running a well known media portal and as an independent entrepreneur.

Rahul’s streak to look beyond nose inspired him to partner with SAUV. Both strengths put together, he soon undertook the social media. Handling responsibility of major organizations like ONGC and Doordarshan and eyeing for frontiers beyond Delhi now.

Kuldeep Kumar
Art & Production Executive

Kuldeep has been in the communication design industry for past 10 years, and has served at JWT, and Rediffusion.

A graphic designer by training, Kuldeep is a darling to all and is ready to take up any task, be it mouse handling or ruck-sack carrying with that far away look in his eyes. His managerial talent was however unearthed during his current Avataar only.

Ajay Rana
Media Research Consultant

If SAUV holds a Mr. Sincere contest ever, Ajay is sure to win hands down. Getting to the bottom of the issue is yet another strength he has. Combine the two virtues, and the resultant baby is an aura of intellectualism that circles him.

Yamini Gupta
Assistant Manager- PR & Coordination

Ms. Punctual, as everybody calls her, Yamini left her dynamic career in TV Production to try something new and challenging and got turned to the field of PR. A quick learner that she is, she finds drudgery as stimulating as excitement in worksphere.

Pratishtha Kaura
Assistant Manager, PR & Communications

Pratishtha migrated from an inanimate world of computers to try out something more feel able and landed up in public relations. She is proving out to be a perpetual learner with everyone around responding to her winsome smile with a helping hand.

Neeti Goutam

Neeti did philosophy from Hindu College in Delhi, but graduated to population studies and research in public health. Public transport and mobility drew her attention as she moved on, and now she handles communication and media on behalf of SAUV for Delhi Integrated Multi-modal Transport Systems Limited.

Quick in her uptake, and extremely affable in her interactions, you can not miss out Neeti Goutam in a crowd.

Nishu Chaudhry
Chief Public Affairs Executive

The much-awaited and a longed-for addition to the SAUV team.
Affable and always willing to break the ice, she joined last September. A winsome smile and nobody-is-impossible attitude are her hallmark.
After a decade’s experience of holding power to account in TV journalism, Nishu is in her role reversal at SAUV accounting for all who matter in government.

Sharanya Sahay
Assistant Manager, Social Media & Media Relations

Fresh from oven, Sharanya majored in Philosophy from Hindu College and decided to foray into the world of tomorrow. His interest in art and photography – traced to his DPS RK Puram days - was the game changer.
Mr. Dependable, for the rest of the team he lives up to “get deeper and deeper until out of breath”. Patient, unassuming and diligent, but when he opens up you better watch out. His intelligent interjections laced with humour can disarm you completely.

Aranya Sahay
Assistant Manager, Music & Public Relations

To the group he is a toddler, until he starts humming. DPS RK Puram hostellers always swore. Cows turn their heads, children stop crying, couples stop fighting and clients stop counting money – for they feel mesmerized by his melody. St Stephen’s that he joined recently is yet to yield to his charm however.
For his ability to convert babies to elderly on his side, he is charged with the task of handling music and its public relations bit. He loves Mousse, Music and Madonna, not necessarily in that order.

Vijay Krishna
Brand Partner

Having dabbled in journalism for several years as a reporter, Hindustan Times could not hold the free spirit of Vijay. For political campaign and communication drew his interest majorly. Brand newsroom is the fresh idea he brings on SAUV’s dashboard and everyone is looking up to find more about his suave presence and work-style.

Prithviraj Burhagohain
Public Relations & Social Media

An Assamese turned Bihari in confusion because his parents migrated to Patna. But Prithvi refused to abandon his instinct – music by the river side. Yes, he dared quit a secure job in HDFC Bank chasing his passion and decided to risk in the universe ofcommunication. Firmly embedded that he is today in the Patna-based office of Bihar Foundation as SAUV’s authorized representative – Facebooking and twittering, and of course, rocking whenever he can steal time.

Pallavi Prasad
Public Relations & Social Media

Dare not call her Pallo. She is Pallavi, a thoroughbred girl brought up early in Assam’s salubrious tea gardens, who flew to the other end, the corporate capital of the country Mumbai, zigzagged to the tech capital, Bangalore in search of a soul-job, but landed up in the company of heart-chasers in SAUV, ironically located in the power capital of India.
JP Morgan could not live up to the demands of her spirit for long as she was to find her heart in media and communication. Quick learner she is as some in SAUV believe, but a charmer, everybody agrees.

Amrisha Sethi
Corporate Communication

You can safely call Amrisha, Amri. Firmly rooted to the ground, cautious to the core but always looking up to fly. Give her any work and very soon she can educate you. The carrier of quintessential values – loyalty, sincerity and perseverance – you may safely lean on her for your closely guarded secrets.

Gauri Kastuar
Film Consultant

When she enters the office, all signs read ‘THE BOSS IS IN’. Giggles turn to whisper and stray comments wither. That’s her aura; you can’t but respect her for what she is.
A dancer by training and an artiste by instinct, Gauri can ungrudgingly go on performing a task given to her. Research comes naturally to her but she still struggles to keep pace with the race of journos.

Haran Kumar
Chief Photography Consultant

When not shooting for clients or not working on photo-correction, Haran is a happy, shiny chef. Whether it is his palette of aesthetic photography or of cookery, you can’t afford to miss him once initiated to his artwork of whichever kind.
Times of India’s photo-division could not hold him for long, once he started getting invitation for photo-exhibitions abroad. His street photography earned him great acclaim at a young age, but his 3 coffee table books carried his fame far and wide.

Naveen
Office Caretaker

SAUV’s body and soul guard. His Mujjaffarnagar roots are difficult to trace when he speaks, but try messing up and you won’t be mistaken. Ready to fix any problem, anytime, for anyone, including for neighbours, Naveen is darling to one and all.

M Krishna
Peon

The complexion, the winsome smile, the curls on the skull - all justify his name. A good follower, who becomes miserable when left alone. But watch out his dress sense, which may get bizarre if not suitably critiqued periodically. A lovable boy.

Ruchi Lal
Content Writer

She comes from a starry generation of Patnaites whose mind may lure them to technology, but their heart finds peace in literature. Having acquired her engineering degrees from Bengaluru and Manchester, Ruchi is seeking her grip over creative writing. She perhaps found SAUV's experimental ground just what she was looking for.

Ritika
Assistant Editor

Ritika is yet another case of a Techie turning into a content writer, out of choice. Though a combo of engineering and English literature, her heart is rapidly leaning to the latter, she feels. SAUV will do the rest....
