Mumbai: For entrepreneur and strategic communications professional Vivek Surve, life outside the boardroom appears to be as varied as his professional journey.
The founder of Oreo One Digital has recently shared a collection of photographs offering glimpses into different aspects of his personal and professional life. The images include candid and formal photographs, lifestyle moments, automobiles and pictures featuring several well-known personalities from politics, sports, literature and entertainment.
Rather than focusing only on his work in entrepreneurship and communications, the photographs offer a more personal look at the individual behind the professional profile.
Surve’s professional background includes journalism, strategic communications, political consulting and entrepreneurship. He founded Oreo One Digital in 2017, and the company describes him as an entrepreneur, political strategist and communication professional.
From Journalism to Entrepreneurship
Before entering the entrepreneurial space, Vivek Surve spent years working in journalism, an experience that shaped his understanding of storytelling, media and public communication.
His subsequent transition into entrepreneurship led to the establishment of Oreo One Digital, which works across public relations, digital communication, strategic consulting and related areas.
But the photographs shared by Surve present a side of his life that goes beyond business meetings and professional engagements.
Photographs With Familiar Names From Different Fields
Among the photographs are moments associated with personalities from different walks of public life.
One of the names featured is Robin Sharma, the Canadian writer and leadership speaker known internationally for books on leadership, personal development and performance.
The collection also includes a photograph with Sharad Pawar, a veteran Indian politician and Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha.
Sports fans may recognise Prithvi Shaw, the Indian cricketer, among the personalities appearing in the photographs.
Another photograph features Kshitij Hitendra Thakur, who served as a Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly representing Nalasopara.
The collection also includes Eknath Shinde, who currently serves as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The Maharashtra government lists Shinde as Deputy Chief Minister in its official leadership information.
A Connection With Maharashtra’s Cultural Legacy
One of the more significant names in the collection is legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar.
Her presence in the photographs adds a cultural dimension to the collection, particularly given Surve’s association with Marathi literary and cultural initiatives.
Surve has previously been associated with literary projects and cultural storytelling, including work connected with publications and personalities from Maharashtra’s literary and artistic circles.
Another political personality appearing in the photographs is Raj Thackeray, adding another prominent name from Maharashtra’s political landscape to the collection.
A Glimpse of Vivek Surve Beyond the Office
Not every photograph is centred around politics or professional associations.
Some of the images show Surve in a more relaxed setting, including professionally styled portraits and lifestyle photographs. A photograph involving a Ferrari also stands out from the collection, adding an automobile and lifestyle element to the otherwise diverse set of images.
The overall collection moves between formal portraits, public personalities, professional settings and more personal lifestyle moments.
For an entrepreneur whose career has largely been associated with communication, media and public-facing work, the photographs provide a different perspective—one that is less about business credentials and more about the people, places and experiences that form part of his wider journey.
An Entrepreneur With a Diverse Professional Background
Vivek Surve’s career has developed across multiple fields. His background in journalism preceded his entrepreneurial journey, while his work through Oreo One Digital has taken him into strategic communications, political consulting, public relations and digital strategy.
His public profile has also appeared in business and entrepreneurship coverage, including a YourStory feature discussing modern business leaders, where Vivek Surve was identified in connection with Oreo One Digital.
The photographs therefore offer an informal complement to that professional journey.
Whether it is a conversation with a public figure, a formal portrait, a sporting personality, a cultural icon or a moment around an automobile, the images collectively portray Vivek Surve as an entrepreneur whose interests and professional network extend across business, media, politics, sports and culture.
