Our Story
What’s the story, morning glory?
Closing in on 25 years of experience in the event industry, founder Gautam has planned events and extravaganzas all over the country in his previous roles. As one of the most experienced planners you will find, Gautam utilizes his passion for bringing people together to collaborate and combines that with his warmth and creativity. He understands that emotions can run high during the planning process and that is why he believes that being a planner is about more than timelines and checklists. It’s about being a partner, friend, and confidant; listening, guiding and creating.
When not working he can be found tinkering about his old cars, reading (mostly Terry Pratchett), listening to all kinds of music, watching cricket or sci-fi movies and looking for new places to eat at.

Why 53?
Personally, B53 is Gautam’s home, his space. The number 53 also has a numerical significance and guides one towards new experiences and positive changes. It is a number that encourages life energy to flow, and advises continuation, and meets life changes with creativity, versatility and courage.
Perfect for these new adventures, where we aim to be positive, accept change and let the energy flow.

Testimonials
It was a pleasure working with Gautam at 53EXP. We had hundreds of corporate SWAG/ giveaways to be designed, produced and shipped to countries across the world. Gautam and team not only created designs that were keeping with our brand, they also sourced products of a high quality and managed all the logistics and complexities of global shipments. Very grateful for the support.

I have worked with Gautam for over a dozen years on multiple, high-profile projects. Given the vast experience that he comes with, Gautam and his team have always delivered high quality events and on time, even when constrained by budget and venue size. In an industry like event management, networks matter and that is something Gautam brings with him to the planning and delivery of quality events.
Salil Kader
Having worked closely with Gautam and his team for the launch of both Baahubali 1 and 2, it was a given that we would be reaching out to him for the RRR launch event in Mumbai. We are so glad we did because both him and his team jumped in and gave us a launch event to remember. We wish both him and 53Exp all the success in the future.

Having 53EXP manage our events was like a world of anxiety reduced to nil. Such extensive mindful planning with the smallest details taken care gave us the freedom to focus completely on the content and outcome of the event while the logistics were automatically tied up.

Gautam and his team managed my younger sister’s wedding and they ensured each & every ask was ticked. Their precision to convert a visual/imagination into that exact physical form/shape, like the stage setup, the installations, the lighting, etc (and not forget, their knack of delivering on time) was exactly what we all needed during those rushed hours, and never were we in doubt about the delivery once we had shared our brief, that’s the kind of confidence they gave us and boy did they deliver!
Praneet Kandarpa
We had the pleasure of working with Gautam for a couple of crucial events: our channel partner meet-ups aimed at promoting our new residential projects in Hyderabad. As a real estate company, these events are vital to our outreach and relationship-building efforts, and we couldn’t be happier with the fantastic job Gautam and his team did.
From the initial planning stages to the execution of the events, his team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. They seamlessly managed every aspect, ensuring that each event was a resounding success.
Keya Karwankar
Collaborating with 53 EXP was a remarkable experience for our launch events at BVR SCIENT. Their professionalism, attention to detail and adaptability not only met but exceeded our expectations. Truly, 53 EXP, under the leadership of Mr. Gautam Rao sets the gold standard for event production.
Dr Sudhakar Potukuchi
Working with Gautam and his team for the Educators Conference as part of The Hyderabad Public School’s Centennial Celebrations was a delight. They are highly professional and extremely personalized in their approach. The entire team on their own accord widened their scope to ensure the event was seamless. I highly recommend 53EXP!
