It’s got to be true blue passion driving a young turk who decides to quit his political advocacy job in Washington DC to pursue wildlife. In 2019, Suyash Keshari, 27, moved lock, stock, barrel to India to become a wildlife presenter. After leading safaris and photography tours across India and Africa, he has now launched the world’s first wildlife OTT platform, Safari with Suyash-TV that brings the national park safari into the living room.

The safari is shot every Sunday in Bandhavgarh National Park of Madhya Pradesh, and lasts for two hours. Subscribers can log in to virtually participate in the morning or evening safari, live. In each episode, the team explores a different zone of the three core zones of the park — Tala, Magadhi and Khitauli. “What sets [these safaris] apart is that they have been shot in real-time as the occurrences unfold before the camera crew unlike most wildlife shows, where different footage is compiled,” says Keshari. The small on-field team consists of two cameramen, the guide and Keshari, who is host and driver. Shot in POV format, it is a simulation of how one would look around upon a sighting. The focus is not only on tigers, but on all wildlife and nature in general, ranging from small birds to even trees.
