Vikram Singh and the starting point of Dogtail Films
Coming from a commerce background, Vikram Singh’s interest in theatre and filmmaking solely deviated from his interest in the world of startup. Vikram, a Delhi University graduate, landed his first employment at Inkkpot in 2016, where he worked in the creative team, which aroused his interest in the filmmaking profession.
“I ultimately was put in one of the production companies in 2017, while I was in my third year of college, and began my career in the field of filmmaking. In 2018, I got my major breakthrough to work as a director and produce content at Archies. During this tenure, while I was at a shoot, I got a call on my set carrying the devastating news of the demise of one of my family members.
Following the demise, I decided to move to Bombay from Delhi. Though I began a new chapter of my life, I still believed that there was something that was missing and that was when it clicked for me, it was my work that mattered, not the place. Even when working in numerous professions, the idea of starting my own business was always in the back of my mind. Since filmmaking was a subject of interest for me and I lacked professional expertise in the same, I worked with numerous freelancers to gather the skills and art that goes behind the same. In 2021, when the devastating impact of the pandemic faded away, I quit my job and started the journey of my startup, Dog Tail, from home with my team of three people. I built a network, met many people, and ended up getting many clients. We developed a website all our own, with no outside investment, and re-invested the profits. Dog Tail provides AD Films/ TVCs, Corporate Films, Animation Films, 360°, and VR Videos,” said Vikram.
The rise of the era
Vikram Singh’s decision to name the organization Dogtail, follows the principle that he firmly believed in, that the creativity in human beings is similar to that of the tail of the dog, one which never goes away and another never bends. The firm boasts a long list of high-profile clients, including Archies, Hirect, Blue Ocean, Gyaan Mart, and Ziploan etc. The group was founded amid the emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic, while the country was experiencing a lull during the lockdown.
