Vivek Thapar
Serial entrepreneur, community leader, and growth strategist. Vivek has built Mirch Media from the ground up into one of NYC's most respected digital marketing agencies.
BIOGRAPHY
The Story Behind the Agency
Vivek Thapar started Mirch Media in 2006 with a laptop, an internet connection, and a firm belief that businesses deserved better than marketing agencies that over-promised and under-delivered. What began as a one-person freelance operation building websites in Queens, New York, has grown into a full-service agency that has served 16+ client engagements across 16+ industries.
As a serial entrepreneur, Vivek has launched multiple successful ventures across technology, media, and professional services. He understands what it feels like to bet your livelihood on an idea — because he's done it. That firsthand experience as a business owner is what makes Mirch Media different: we don't just do marketing, we've built the businesses that marketing needs to support.
