n About The Hosteller
n
nThe Hosteller started in 2015, when backpacker hostels weren't a category in India yet. Seventy-plus properties later, we're the country's largest self-operated hostel chain — and we've never really sold beds. We sell the common room at 11pm, the trek someone talks you into, the table that had four people and now has seven. Belonging is the product. The whole brand runs on one line: go meet your people.

n Role overview
n
nSet the edit quality and the format language for a daily short-form engine running across 75 hostels and use AI video tools to produce what a shoot alone can't.
n
nContent is The Hosteller's primary acquisition channel, not a support function. Capture is distributed across the network, creators travelling on barter, paid influencers, guests filming anyway and it arrives raw, uneven and constant. Production stays central.



This seat is where that raw feed becomes work that looks like one brand, every day, without the volume flattening the craft.
n
nIt is a senior IC seat with a bar-setting mandate: the house style is defined here, the hardest cuts are done here, and the video editor is mentored here.
