An ad man, an event specialist, a game show host, a book author, a celebrity speaker, a poet, a playwright, a songwriter, a start up founder - who is the real Shivjeet?
Now therein lies the problem. When you write the most famous line in Indian Advertising (Bole Mere Lips I Love Uncle Chips), at the age of 27 there’s not much left to do. Except perhaps win a 100 national and international awards, get ranked as one of the top 10 creative people in India, write a government to power and pen a few novels and launch a few companies
After winning the 100 awards, Shivjeet walked away from advertising to try and build a 100 cr company. So far it seems a good plan as his company NFX Digital has turned research into a game, via adytude.com and has over 100 clients including Pepsi, Perfetti, Cipla, Hyundai, Flipkart, Philips, Zee TV, Discovery Channel, ITC, De Beers, Havas Media, ITC, Kantar and Government of India. It was ranked as Best Emerging Company of the Year by NASSCOM and Most Innovative Business Partner by Pepsico. While Shivjeet was named ‘Voice of the Internet’ by Your Story Magazine.
NFX Digital - Myndmap is a gamified online research startup that Shivjeet created to bridge the gap between Product development, Creative communication, and Consumer insights.
Valued at over $10Million and strategic partnerships with Kantar and Millward Brown.

And now, another seven years later, he crossed paths with the New York Ad Festival. This time however, he was not one of the award’s recipients, but instead a part of the jury that selects the winners. Sharing the stage with other eminent jury members, Shivjeet was truly in his element showcasing his knowledge that has been accumulated over the past 25 years

From road rage, to shady politicians, to wannabe stars, to union strikes – he held nothing sacred and his pen flayed them all just the same
Taking the Taj is a fast-paced, page-turner where seven seasoned terrorists take international hostages in the Taj Mahal. It is a nail-biting, adrenaline-pumping account of what happens over the next twenty-four hours. The story keeps shuttling from the present-day situation that the Taj is in, to the times when it was being built, with mindboggling trivia that keeps you glued to the novel – hoping it’d be for real! Shivjeet Kullar conjures up an intriguing account of complexities of human emotions, situations, love and lust. The novel takes you from the highs of power and rebellion to the lows of poverty and submission.
The Panda and the Pandemic is Shivjeet’s first children’s book. It’s the story of a panda who escapes from the zoo then hides in a boy’s fridge then when discovered teaches the boy about the Pandemic. In the author’s words ‘no writer’s journey is complete till he has written a kid’s book. And the challenge is to write something that both the kids and parents enjoy’. Which is why, in addition to being a lovely and innocent children’s story the book also has quirky references and humour points that parent pandas will enjoy.

Ever the experimenter, Shivjeet has composed a song. Based on the timeless classic “Sound of Silence”, he reinterpreted and transformed it into a song that talks about the growing disconnect between people.
