Representative: Mayank Singh, Director
Established: 24th August, 2020

The Founder:
Mayank is an alumnus of Indian Institute of Management (IIM, Calcutta), a triple crowned (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) B-School, ranked among top 50 globally.
Originally, a Mechanical Engineer, he has an extensive experience in Automobile Manufacturing and process optimization (using lean management methods), from a world class production facility.
For 4 years, he was a key member in the New Model Development's project team of award winning cars at Hyundai (‘IC OTY’- Indian Car of The Year: 2014, 15, 16); and was also engaged in sophisticated plant automation and Personnel up-skilling assignments, at the same time.
Furthermore, for another 2 years he was part of Indian ‘digital and experiential marketing’ space (in the video game industry), working at the most popular ‘Review & community forum’ in the country, 'gamingcentral.in'. There he worked with a vibrant team of young enthusiasts, who were behind several successful marketing campaigns at the time, such as ‘AMD Gamer Rebellion’ and ‘Sony Play Station Corporate League’.
From May 2018 till July 2020, he headed a dedicated Business Unit within TMI Group (One of the largest indigenous HR Management Consulting group in the country), focused towards creating a supply of highly talented Indians (such as graduates from IITs), for global markets (starting with Japan). He believes in innovation through technology, and thus, he also (simultaneously) lead the development of Augmented/Virtual reality offerings in the Content & Technology wing of TMI.
Eventually, he decided to take up an entrepreneurial route to find his long lost love for art, science, and metaphysics. Death and Despair Comics is his attempt at creating exciting stuff, for people who (perhaps) share the same love (as he does) for things like Manga, Comics, Anime, Video Games, and Action Figures....
