Biography

One half of a pair of identical twins, Raghu Ram is best known for creating "Roadies", the longest running reality show in India, and "Splitsvilla", India's first and longest running romance reality show.

Born in New Delhi, Raghu's first brush with the world of broadcasting was as a spot boy for TV spots on child labor. Raghu dropped out of college along with his twin and they started working in the then-nascent Indian Television industry as trainees at the age of 20.

He considers his 1 year stint as content producer at BBC World Service Trust, New Delhi, as his most significant and formative.

Raghu moved to Mumbai in 2003 to work as a Senior Producer in MTV India, which was then primarily known for music and short format content. That changed with "Roadies", an adventure-reality show that became MTV's signature show. He became part of the audition panel as he was more comfortable in Hindi than others at MTV, and caught the fancy of MTV's young audience with his ability to stress contestants out and his colorful language.

Raghu continued to straddle the worlds in front of and behind the camera, while acting in films and writing the autobiographical "Rearview: My Roadies Journey", published in 2013.

In 2014, Raghu, along with his monozygotic twin Rajiv, started "Monozygotic Solutions Pvt. Ltd", creating original fiction and non-fiction programming for TV and digital platforms.

Raghu is married to Canadian singer Natalie DiLuccio and they live in Mumbai.
