Neel Madhav
Chief Ideas Officer · Data Analytics & AI
One of India's foremost television personalities in the leisure and lifestyle genre, and the country's leading magician, illusionist and mentalist. His work specialises in mentalism and neuro-linguistic programming, built on a close study of psychology and how the mind works.
He anchored You Got Magic with Neel Madhav — 52 episodes on NDTV Good Times and NDTV International, the most viewed travel show across India, later broadcast in fourteen countries under the Astro footprint and revived on Sony BBC Earth. Between 2024 and 2026 he produced and anchored three series of Tour de Royale for the History Channel.
Penguin Random House contracted him for two books; the first, You Got Magic, has been published to acclaim. He has given three TEDx talks and spoken at more than a hundred colleges and schools, at the Jaipur Literature Festival and its London edition, at Mountain Echoes in Bhutan and at the Galle Literary Festival in Sri Lanka.
At Amogha he is focused on building a consumer database with a clear understanding of the likes and dislikes of different market segments — a natural extension of his work in human behaviour and neuro-linguistics.
