Connecting brands with creators across South India since 2015. Turning influence into impact, one campaign at a time.
Founded in 2015 with nothing but instinct, intent, and ₹3,500, The InterMentalist has grown into one of South India’s most influential forces in creator economy of south.
Today, the agency stands at the centre of the South Indian entertainment and creator ecosystem — working with brands that operate at a national and global scale, while collaborating with almost every significant voice across the region. From superstars and film personalities to internet-first creators and emerging digital talent, The InterMentalist has built deep relationships across every layer of influence.
What sets the agency apart is not just access — but understanding. A sharp grasp of regional culture, audience behaviour, internet trends, and storytelling allows the team to create campaigns that feel native, not manufactured.
From influencer marketing and digital movie promotions to creator strategy, scripting, production, and campaign analytics, The InterMentalist operates as a full-scale strategic partner built specifically for South India.
Over the years, the agency has quietly shaped how brands enter and win in the South — creating systems, processes, and scalable models that have redefined influencer-led marketing in the region.
At its core lies a rare capability: the power to influence the people who influence culture. That is what makes The InterMentalist the preferred partner for brands, studios, and agencies looking to build real impact in South India.
Founder & CEO — The InterMentalist
At 21, with just ₹3,500 in hand and no roadmap to follow, Shivashish stepped into entrepreneurship with nothing except conviction.
No funding. No infrastructure. No industry backing. No business education. Just a middle-class boy carrying a vision too big for the room he came from.
In a world where people trusted experience, pedigree, and privilege — he chose belief. While most doubted him, dismissed him, or laughed at the audacity of his dreams, he kept building quietly, relentlessly, and without shortcuts.
What began as a one-man pursuit driven by instinct and obsession has today evolved into one of South India’s most influential and result-driven marketing forces.
But the story was never about money. It was about perspective — about understanding people before platforms did, and recognising the power of influence before the industry realised its value.
Today, Shivashish stands at the intersection of brands, cinema, creators, and culture — leading an agency that has helped shape the South Indian creator ecosystem from the ground up.
His journey is proof that you do not need perfect conditions to build something powerful. Sometimes, all it takes is the courage to start before the world gives you permission.
Recognised by media, trusted by brands, respected across the ecosystem.
