A B.M.M. (Bachelor of Mass Media; 3rd year) graduate, Vighnesh Pande, born in Mumbai, started his career as a Ventriloquist at the age of 14. Getting a platform was not a difficult task as his father, Deepak Pande, a very well-known Magician and Ventriloquist globally, is a mentor and an influence to this fresh talent. In fact, Deepak Pande started performing at the age of 16 and today has an ultimate experience of almost 40 years with a flow of awards and almost half the world travelled. Inheriting this odd and yet dying art form from his father, gave Vighnesh an opportunity to enter the Indian industry with a different perception and a talent altogether. Vighnesh, soon grabbed the attention of Event organizers in Mumbai. His career till date involves outdoor travelling like Surat, Valsad, Daman, Lucknow, Pune, Goa, Bangalore and Mysore. Vighnesh also featured in the India’s Got Talent Season 2 and 3 commercials which provided great exposure of the media industry. He has also performed in a lot of Corporate Events (J.P. Morgan, Loop Mobile, Yamaha, Hitachi, Sai Service, Bayer, and TRIG Guardforce etc.), Mall Events (Infiniti Mall, High Street Phoenix and Korum Mall etc.) and College Festivals. In the first 3 years of his career, he came to be known as the “Best Stand-Up comedian” in Mumbai. He also does impressions for hosting like Dabba-Wala, Lalu (Aloo) Prasad Yadav and others. Today, he is considered as the “Youngest & In-Demand Entertainer” in Mumbai.
Apart from Ventriloquism, Vighnesh also has a strong affection for Acting and Film-Making. He wrote and directed a short-film “Mumbai: The Golden Egg” which won 3 awards for “Best Short-Film”. Vighnesh, also wrote, directed and acted in 3 TVCs (competition) i.e. Close-Up Fire Freeze (won 2nd Prize), Sony (no rewards) and Bacardi Party (no rewards). He also had his cinematic debut as an actor in Yogendra Kumaria’s short-film based on social issues, “Sazaa” as a teenage criminal and as a Young Police official in another Short-Film. Also, he has worked with a lot of celebrities (Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Karishma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Perizaad Zorabian, Dharmendra, Vivek Oberoi, Dia Mirza, Rakhi Sawant and many others).
