His journey from a small village to becoming a leading voice in Rajasthanās media landscape is a testament to his passion, resilience, and commitment to his roots.
Growing up in Bara Khera, Ks was immersed in the vibrant culture, folk music, and stories of Rajasthan. His love for storytelling began early, manifesting through writing screenplays for films. After completing high school, he pursued his passion by moving to Mumbai and enrolling at Join Films Academy, where he mastered the art of filmmaking, directing, and video editing. During his time in Mumbai, Ks worked as an Assistant Director, collaborating with renowned brands and content houses like Join Films, Divine Trendz, and Atul Video. These experiences honed his skills in cinematic visuals and digital storytelling, laying the foundation for his future ventures.
In 2019, Ks founded Ks Editzzz, a professional creative agency based in Asind, Bhilwara, specializing in video editing and graphic design. The agency caters to creators, influencers, and brands, delivering engaging short-form and long-form content, including podcasts. Known for its visual innovation and fast turnarounds, Ks Editzzz has worked with national and international clients, establishing Ks as a skilled visual storyteller with a global reach. His leadership at Ks Editzzz was the springboard for his most significant contributionāPadharo Mhare Podcast.
The idea for Padharo Mhare Podcast was born in October 2024, sparked by a realization while editing a podcast for a client. Ks, along with co-founders Jitsa Rathore, Varun Vaishnav, and former member Hemant Lohar, noticed a gap in the podcasting space: no platform truly represented Rajasthanās culture, local voices, or authentic stories. Determined to fill this gap, they launched the podcast on November 16, 2024, despite numerous challenges, including limited internet and equipment in their small town.
The podcastās name, āPadharo Mhare Podcast,ā was chosen after extensive brainstorming to resonate with Rajasthani audiences. Ks personally designed the logo and transformed a modest room in Bara Khera into a podcast studio, overcoming logistical hurdles like creating a physical version of the logo in Asind. The first recording, scheduled For Ksās birthday on November 4, 2024, faced setbacks when all confirmed guests backed out. Undeterred, the team recorded their first episode the next day, November 5, 2024, featuring Maharaj Sanwarnath Ji and Mahaveer Fauji, marking the official start of the podcast.
As the host of Padharo Mhare Podcast, Ks brings authenticity and warmth to every episode, engaging with a diverse range of guestsāspiritual leaders, soldiers, artists, educators, and grassroots changemakers. Episodes like āMahavir Faujiās Inspiring Journeyā and āRani Padmini: The Braveheart of Chittorgarhā blend cultural preservation with self-improvement, inspiring both listeners and creators. Available on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and Anchor, the podcast has garnered hundreds of thousands of views and streams, earning recognition as Rajasthanās No.1 podcast and one of Indiaās top regional shows.
Ksās vision extends beyond podcasting. In June 2025, he established the PMP Foundation, a parent organization driving initiatives like PMP Rajasthan, PMP Store, PMP Creators, and PMP News, all aimed at preserving Rajasthani heritage, empowering creators, and promoting cultural education. His ability to overcome rural challenges, such as limited digital infrastructure, showcases his resilience and dedication to amplifying unheard voices.
Beyond podcasting and filmmaking, Ks is an accomplished screenwriter and author. In 2025, he published his debut horror novel, Bhootiya Theka, a gripping tale centered on Raghav, a young man working alone at a liquor shop at night, encountering chilling supernatural experiences. The book, available on Amazon (Bhootiya Theka), has captivated readers with its suspenseful narrative and vivid storytelling. Ks also maintains an author page on Amazon (amazon.com/author/ksrathore). Since 2022, he has been working on another fiction novel, Raktaksha, a captivating exploration of mythology, spirituality, and history, spanning from the Dwapar Yug to the Kali Yug, featuring characters like Mansvi and Raktaksha. The novel, nearing completion, is highly anticipated and expected to further solidify Ksās literary presence.
Rooted in his Rajasthani heritage, Ks Rathore believes in the power of authentic storytelling to educate, inspire, and connect communities. His journey from a small village to a global platform reflects his mantra: āTell stories that matter, and let culture lead the way.ā Whether through his podcast, films, or novels, Ks continues to redefine how Rajasthani stories are shared with the world, making him a pivotal figure in Rajasthanās cultural renaissance.
