Mumbai, 18th August 2026: After more than a decade of redefining digital storytelling in India, Humans of Bombay is entering its next chapter with the launch of The Human Company. Over the last 12 years, Humans of Bombay has published more than 7,000 stories spanning geographies, generations and walks of life, building a community of over 7 million people.
In that time, storytelling itself has transformed. Stories that once unfolded over chapters are now told in seconds. Audiences have moved from pages to feeds, while podcasts, films, creators and short-form video have reshaped how ideas are created, consumed and shared.
Humans of Bombay didn’t just adapt to this shift – it helped shape it. What began as a storytelling platform has evolved into a business that helps brands take ideas from inception to impact – bringing together strategy, creative, production, original IPs and distribution.
Today, that full-stack business has a name: The Human Company. Built to eliminate the traditional gaps between thinking, making and reaching an audience, The Human Company brings the entire creative journey under one roof. From the first strategic insight to the final piece of content – and the audience it ultimately reaches – The Human Company is designed to help ambitious ideas move seamlessly from vision to execution.
Today, The Human Company partners with some of the world’s leading brands, including AWS, Samsung, HSBC, Myntra and Zomato, among many others. For Founder and CEO Karishma Mehta, the launch marks an inflection point for the industry and the beginning of a new chapter.
Karishma Mehta, Founder & CEO of The Human Company, said: “Humans of Bombay began with a simple belief – that stories can change the way people see the world. Over the last twelve years, that belief led us somewhere unexpected. Beyond building a storytelling platform, we built a company that helps ideas become movements, brands become part of culture, and stories create lasting impact.”
As part of its next phase of growth, the company has also strengthened its leadership team, elevating Amit Sobti as Chief Operating Officer and Jasleen Kaur Gupta as Chief Creative and Strategy Officer. Humans of Bombay will continue as the company’s flagship storytelling platform, while The Human Company expands the larger business across content, media, original IPs and brand solutions.
