About us
Based in Mumbai, Much Much Media is a boutique media production company and social impact agency with a community of over 50,000 people. We help brands, non-profits, and agencies make important conversations interesting while ensuring their vision and goals are not only met, but resonate deeply with audiences.
Why ‘Much Much?’
In colloquial Hindi, "much much" means chatter. We chose the name Much Much Media to embody our mission of making important conversations engaging and enjoyable through our content and media. Based in Mumbai, Much Much Media is a boutique media production company that transforms briefs from brands and agencies into highly loved and binge-worthy social media content, films, campaigns, ads, and more.
Our journey
Much Much Spectrum was launched three years after Much Much Media as our original content division, aimed at bringing to light the stories of underrepresented communities that are often missing from mainstream media. This initiative was inspired by our founders' discovery of their own neurodivergence, establishing us as India’s first neurodivergent-led media company. Our objective is to bridge the gap in affirming narratives, particularly around subjects like health, disability, and mental health, which have been historically stigmatized in India. These topics are frequently portrayed through lenses of pity, sympathy, or excessive inspiration, often resulting in unaffirmative portrayals.
In the last two years, Much Much Spectrum has built a global community of over 50,000 people. We have partnered with various brands and non-profits to tell impactful stories through our platform and community.

Aditi Gangrade
Chief Creative Officer - Much Much Media
Aditi Gangrade is a Gen-Z entrepreneur and filmmaker, renowned for her pioneering work in promoting neurodiversity and disability representation in the media industry. As someone who identifies as Autistic and ADHD, and also experiences PMDD, Aditi co-founded the innovative Mumbai-based studio, Much Much Spectrum, alongside her equally talented neurodivergent partner, Aalap Deboor. This inclusive content, insights, and consultation studio has made a significant impact by establishing a global community of 50,000 individuals focused on mental health, disability, neurodiversity, and gender.
Much Much Spectrum, under Aditi's visionary leadership, aims to build India's largest repository of lived experiences through a rich tapestry of digital content and films. Aditi's passion for intersectional storytelling and her commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in media has been a driving force behind her work. Her directorial prowess was recently showcased in the film 'Unmasking Autism,' which was screened at the prestigious Pride Filmtage Bremen Film Festival in Germany.
Before venturing into entrepreneurship, Aditi worked as a creative producer and director. The inception of Much Much Spectrum, an extension of her media company Much Much Media, was motivated by the personal revelation of neurodivergence she shared with her partner. Much Much Spectrum collaborates with a diverse range of entities including non-profits, brands, corporate firms, and government agencies, striving to actualize disability inclusion.
Apart from spearheading all creative and editorial efforts at Much Much Media, Aditi now also takes time out to coach young neurodivergent people starting their careers, as well as consult parents and caregivers on neurodiversity.
