Meet Shamik Talukder of escapex in West Hollywood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shamik Talukder.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Shamik. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
We started at the end of 2014. A set of mobile and entertainment entrepreneurs who were on a mission came together to build a different engagement model and reimagine social media where control is in the hands of the creators, not platforms; where the celebrities driving engagement and creating content are compensated, not the networks they use.

The first app that we built was Bob Marley’s app and today we have over 150 celebrity apps in 11 countries. With Amber Rose, Jeremy Renner, Ashley Tisdale, Alessandra Ambrosio, PV Sindhu, Agnez Mo, Giovana Ewbank, Sunny Leone, Keisuke Honda, Elina Svitlona, Prince Royce and many more in USA, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Ukraine, France and Kazhakstan, we are pioneering the shift of celebrities and influencers across the globe from shared platforms to their own white-labeled platforms.

Has it been a smooth road?
In a startup, every day is a new challenge and the road is never smooth. We have succeeded and our journey has been amazing because of the fantastic product, amazing celebrity and influencer partners, and the super-team we have. Team escapex works around the clock, we never sleep!

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the escapex story. Tell us more about the business.
Escapex gives influencers ownership of their followers by moving them to their own social network. We are the only organized, well-capitalized provider of social as a service to influencers worldwide. We are benefiting from profound changes in technology, social media reach and market attitudes including the clear drive to decentralization. We are leading the shift to influencer-owned networks.

Influencers leverage our patented mobile-centric technology allowing them to extract maximum value from the escapex ecosystem. The resulting effect is driving global adoption of our product.

We are unique because no other company has the product with patented features and the trust of over 150 celebrities across the globe. We are proud of the scale we have grown to achieve working across cultures and countries in a short period of time. We have succeeded where no one else has and we are rewriting the rules in social media.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
The industry will be driven by constant innovation giving more power to individuals.

Content will lead the way with decentralization being the key. Social media will move from being a broadcast platform to get the focus back into relationships by emphasizing small snacking content and intimate connections.

Communities will emerge stronger and context will drive people into communities. The future of engagement is mobile and the mobile native platforms will be built to last.
