Background

About Sumitha Sudhakar

I’m a Sanguine at heart, driven by the belief that “Attitude is everything” and guided by the motto “Live the moment.”Growing up in Malabar gave me an enduring love for authentic cuisine and timeless ghazals — two constants in a life filled with transformation. My journey through Presentation School, Farook College, Calicut University, and C-DIT gave me the foundation to see the world through different lenses — culturally, creatively, and strategically.My professional canvas has been equally vibrant. I was fortunate to be mentored by industry leaders during my time as a Creative Producer and TV Host at Asianet, where I received the Best TV Presenter Award. I then transitioned into media sales and business development roles at top media houses including Times of India, ABP, and Hello FM, earning the Sales Superstar Award and gaining international exposure along the way.In 2010, I turned my entrepreneurial dream into reality with the launch of Media Box Office (MBO) — a 360° creative and martech agency that brings campaigns to life with content, strategy, and execution.At MBO, our mantra is “We Think Out Of The Box to Make It Happen.” We’re a team of passionate creatives, strategists, and content producers offering everything from branding and marketing tech to video, design, animation, and activation solutions. We’ve served clients across FMCG, government, retail, finance, FEC, and IT sectors — and earned accolades like the Pepper Awards, which only raised our bar for excellence higher.Creativity is my fuel, learning is my constant, and growth is my goal. One of my proudest decisions was stepping out of my comfort zone to pursue an MBA at IIM Kozhikode, reinforcing both my strategic and leadership capabilities.I believe in evolving — not just as a professional, but as a person. And I carry with me the mindset:“Grow. Evolve. Step out of your comfort zone.”
