Rohit Biswas’s journey is a powerful reminder that life doesn’t have to follow a fixed script. In his talk "Beyond the Final Frontier," he shares how he walked away from a secure engineering job, despite promotions and a promising career, after realizing that success without fulfillment felt empty. That moment of clarity set him on an unpredictable but meaningful path. He restarted his career at 27 as an unpaid intern in a media company, reporting to people younger than him. With no formal training in filmmaking, Rohit chose to learn, adapt, and give it his all. Within a year, he became the lead cinematographer at ScoopWhoop, proving that passion and persistence can beat conventional qualifications. When the pandemic hit, fear forced him to grow. Unable to shoot outdoors, Rohit taught himself new skills — editing, anchoring, even flying drones — turning crisis into opportunity. His adaptability not only helped him survive but led to his emergence as an on-camera personality and creative voice. Today, Rohit is a storyteller, content creator, and director — and once again, he has quit his job to explore new frontiers. His journey is about constantly redefining what’s “normal,” pushing boundaries, and trusting the process. It’s a message for anyone standing at the edge of uncertainty: take the leap — regret is always worse than failure. #TEDxSSCBS #Beyond the final frontier Rohit Biswas is a creative director, anchor, cinematographer, and storyteller who has built his career from the ground up in India's media landscape.
