A village in Maharashtra. A CS degree from BITS Pilani. A career at Atlassian. Then a decision that changed everything.
American Bhau (PIK Media LLC) is a media platform built for Marathi-speaking business owners — in the USA, India, Europe, and everywhere the diaspora has landed. We help them tell their stories, reach new customers, and connect with a community that gets the specific challenges they face.
We're not a generic social media agency. We're a platform with an audience that cares — 38K YouTube subscribers who watch hour-long podcast episodes, 3K email readers who open every newsletter, and a WhatsApp community of business owners who actively refer each other.
The platform is inspired by Naval Ravikant's philosophy: build specific knowledge, leverage networks, and create value that can't be easily replicated. That's what we help our clients do.
Born in a small village near Dhule, Maharashtra. Studied computer science at BITS Pilani, worked as a software engineer at Atlassian, then moved to America.
In 2023, he left his tech career to build American Bhau — a podcast, YouTube channel, and community platform dedicated to Marathi business owners worldwide.
"I want to prove that Marathi people CAN build great businesses. We just need the right platform and community."
He also runs "Navalai" — a reels and shorts series explaining Naval Ravikant's business philosophy in Marathi.
Pallavi studied architecture at the prestigious JJ School of Arts in Mumbai, then pursued UI/UX certification during COVID — combining visual thinking with digital design.
She runs the entire editing workflow and visual direction for American Bhau. Every thumbnail, every reel cut, every visual identity decision — that's Pallavi.
"Good design isn't decoration. It's communication. Every frame we publish should earn the viewer's trust."
It's a family business, and that shows in the quality and care that goes into every piece of content.
Small, focused, and excellent at what they do.
We're always looking for Video Editors, Designers, and Script Writers.
