Creating a ‘scene’ with live entertainment experiences in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: At a time when ‘Netflix and chill’ is the catch phrase, Vishwaraj Mohan has taken upon himself to light up the desperately-lacking live entertainment space. Through CounterCulture 2.0, Mohan – who is well-acquainted with the culture scene across the country – has been creating live entertainment experiences through stand-up comedy shows, gaming tournaments, music gigs and music festivals.

“The idea is to cultivate the habit of watching live shows by purchasing tickets instead of monthly OTT platform subscriptions,” Mohan says. Mohan initially started CounterCulture as a live performance venue in 2010-11, when he found that he would step out for a live gig on a Friday evening, only to come across the same old jaded choices.
