Originally from the growing town of Siliguri in West Bengal, Pinakie Kansabanik’s life has been shaped by a sustained engagement with people, places, and human response. Growing up at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, he learned early that geography does more than define landscapes — it shapes temperament, pace, and perception.

​

His journey has moved fluidly across worlds: from being a young educator in Sikkim to navigating marketing narratives and organisational ambition in Delhi–NCR. Each phase added layers to his understanding of behaviour, identity, and the subtle forces that influence human decisions — whether in classrooms, corporate corridors, or everyday life.

​

Although the shift from corporate environments to creative expression may appear familiar, Pinakie does not see himself as a habitual writer. He prefers to think of himself as an author of experiences and emotions, drawing from observation rather than autobiography. His storytelling is shaped by attention — to conversations overheard, silences held, and patterns that repeat quietly across people, cultures, and settings.

​

Time spent across mountains and wild landscapes has been a defining influence. Trekking through the Himalayas — including the journey to Everest Base Camp — along with numerous other high-altitude trails, forest routes, and jungle safaris, has reshaped his relationship with time, ambition, and effort. These journeys were never about conquest, but about exposure — to scale, unpredictability, and humility. The mountains and wilderness taught him patience, attentiveness, and the discipline of listening — to terrain, to weather, and to oneself. These lessons continue to inform the rhythm, restraint, and emotional depth of his storytelling.

​

Alongside these personal journeys, Pinakie has spent years within the professional world of events, exhibitions, conferences, and large-scale cultural gatherings. His experience extends from observing how collective emotion is designed and staged to teaching the principles behind it. He has taught at leading event management institutes, including at Ramoji Film City and in Delhi, and has been closely involved in shaping graduate and postgraduate education in the MICE domain in India. This long engagement with event ecosystems has sharpened his understanding of narrative architecture — how intent, sequencing, space, and human connection come together to create meaning that lingers beyond the moment.

​

Across his work — whether in digital stories, conversations, education, or cultural observation — a consistent belief emerges: that the most powerful stories are not the loudest ones. They are the ones that notice carefully, reflect honestly, and quietly reveal who we are, where we come from, and how our experiences shape what we choose to become.
