Swapnil Padmakar Malkapure

Swapnil Padmakar Malkapure’s name always pops up in the world of Indian cinema, especially if you’re anywhere near the Marathi industry or the buzzing world of film post-production. He’s got credits on flicks like Dongri Ka Raja (2016), Adham (2019), and Manmauji, plus he’s been the go-to marketing and distribution pro for films like Mithun (2018), Justice For Good Content (2021), Irsal (2022), and Rat on a Highway (2022). Basically, if there’s a project needing someone to get the word out or close a tough deal, Swapnil’s probably already on it. He’s the guy running Marketing & Business Development at WOT Studios in Pune, handling the Maharashtra region—no small feat considering how competitive the market is. Oh, and that’s not all, he’s also the Co-founder and Business Head over at Ocean Trench Marketing Solutions. Talk about spinning a lot of plates. Swapnil’s spent 8+ years swimming in the deep end of startups, rocking everything from sales and business expansion to key account management and strategy. He’s closed deals with big-name production houses and OTT platforms, managed a crew of 30+ people, and overseen the delivery of thousands of minutes of regional films, e-learning, and ad content. The guy basically runs a tight ship when it comes to post-production, VFX, and client wrangling. He’s all about creating opportunities, motivating his team, and keeping clients happy. Add in a business MBA and a knack for relationship-building, and you’ve got someone who really knows how to make things happen in the industry.
