Tushar Joshi

CEO & Founder of Festival Pro

Tushar’s festival journey began on stage, smashing the electronic drums with the EDM (We don't call it EDM here) band Subgiant, and playing at hundreds of festivals worldwide. From the euphoric highs to the muddy lows (and more than a few dodgy toilets), he’s seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of life behind the scenes.

Armed with 15 years of festival know how and 30 years of experience as a developer (yes, he’s been coding since floppy disks were still a thing), Tushar set out to tackle one of the industry’s biggest headaches: festival management. The result? Festival Pro, a complete 360° platform that takes the chaos of large scale event planning and turns it into something that actually makes sense. Today, Festival Pro supports over 600 festivals worldwide, making organisers’ lives easier and audiences’ experiences smoother.

Tushar now leads an international team of festival experts who advise, guide, and sprinkle a little magic into every event they touch. When he’s not orchestrating the backstage revolution, he’s still touring with Subgiant, living in London, and for him most importantly remains the go to guy for the best food and cocktail spots.
