The Story
Behind

Ravneet Oberoi is a Story Strategist and the founder of French Fries Films, a Delhi NCR studio built on a simple belief: the right story, told well, changes how people see a brand. FFF is India’s only Muse Storytelling-certified production company, with work that has reached audiences for Etsy, Cult, and Four Seasons. He also hosts The Story Behind, a podcast that sits down with founders and makers to unpack the decisions behind the work. His interest is less in polished output and more in the thinking underneath it.
