Pocket Aces: Winning big from outside the system

"It's amazing. Hoardings are a great vanity marketing metric and people have been sending us pictures from different cities," says Aditi Shrivastava who along with Ashwin Suresh and Anirudh Pandita founded digital media company Pocket Aces in 2014.

We are at the premier of a new season of their series, What The Folks, and the Mumbai-based trio are in the spotlight as their series, Little Things, acquired by Netflix, shines in full OOH glory across India. The deal also includes a new comedy series for the streaming giant.

Little Things season 2 on Netflix

Little Things, which has been trending on Netflix, is the first pre-existing series to be exclusively acquired by the streaming service. "People from Spain and Canada are inquiring about DVDs. No Indian show has organically travelled this well across the world," says Pandita.

The trio (all engineers raised in cities in the Middle East) left their finance jobs in New York City in 2011 to pursue their passion in India. Suresh worked with Reliance for three years and then with TOI, setting up Junglee Pictures. Shrivastava, who dabbled in asset management at Goldman Sachs, worked for five years in the social development sector. Pandita, a Wharton B-school alumnus moved to India later to join the duo.
