Nikhil Yadav
@nikhilyadav6
Content producer and video editor who builds media workflows and grows Instagram audiences through end-to-end storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I’m a content producer and video editor with 3+ years across institutional, hospitality, and automotive brands. I thrive on owning the full pipeline—shooting, editing, motion graphics, and sound—so every piece stays on-brand from first frame to final cut.
At Saraswati Group of Colleges, I built and led the media unit from zero, taking monthly Instagram views from 80K to 10M+ in five months. I’ve produced 40+ end-to-end videos across campus events, including 5 productions that surpassed 200K+ views each, while cutting turnaround time by creating a repeatable workflow and training 3 student creators to run it independently.
Earlier, as a Video Editor & Cinematographer at Digital Village, I delivered branded video content for clients including AIIMS Bathinda and Haveli Hotels while leading a small team of cinematographers and writers. I built a production team from scratch, trained members on lighting and camera operation fundamentals, and kept output ahead of platform trends through continuous trend research.
I’ve also directed junior editors and supported complex edits at Pixel Creatives, and I’ve driven audience and engagement results as a Social Media Manager at Lovely Professional University. From freelance work for brands like Royal Enfield, Hero, and Suzuki to mentoring new starters in content creation, I bring a consistent mix of creative direction, execution discipline, and team-first leadership.
