THIS IS OUR STORY
Our story began back in 2012, when we were just a couple of college students at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi, surrounded by the vibrant energy of campus life. Between the classrooms, canteens, and the endless conversations with friends, we were living some of the most unforgettable days of our lives. It was here that the seeds of THE ANTS were sown.
In those early days, a small group of us, driven by our love for creativity and storytelling, started taking on freelance projects. It wasn’t about making a fortune—it was about learning, experimenting, and doing something we loved while earning a little extra pocket money on the side. As we worked with different people and brands, something amazing happened: we began to realize that our true passion wasn’t just in making things look good, but in telling stories that could move and inspire others.
With every project, every new idea brought to life, we saw how powerful a good story could be. The joy of seeing an idea connect with someone, of creating something that sparked a feeling or thought, made us believe in the impact of what we were doing. And that was the moment we knew: this is what we wanted to do, full-time, for the rest of our lives.
So, after graduation, we took the leap and founded THE ANTS—a community built on the belief that good stories can change the world. It wasn’t always easy, but the energy and excitement from those early days kept us going. As time passed, our journey naturally evolved. Our team grew, new faces joined, and each person brought their own unique spark, but the heart of what we did remained the same.
Today, THE ANTS is more than just a community; it’s a family of passionate individuals who share a single mission: to bring stories to life. Every member of our team plays a crucial role in creating, collaborating, and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve. We work hard, support each other, and always strive to create work that inspires, connects, and resonates.
We might have started small, but as a team, we’ve built something much larger than ourselves. Like ants, we believe in the power of community, hard work, and moving forward, one step at a time. Every project, no matter the size, is a reflection of the effort, creativity, and heart we put into it.
Looking back, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come—and yet, the best part is knowing we’re just getting started. The journey is far from over, and with our incredible team, we’re more excited than ever to continue creating stories that matter and experiences that leave a lasting impact.
THE ANTS? HOW COME THAT NAME?
Whenever we used to come across a group of ants, whether in a park or in our home kitchen, it always made us wonder how those tiny creatures can walk and work together in sync for a common cause – To collect food, bring that to their homes for their families, and create a happy world for their community!
Seeing them work in harmony always inspired us and made us think that we human beings are also kinda ants in this big world who can walk together, and work together for a common purpose – To create a happier world for all of us. With that spirit, we chose to call ourselves “THE ANTS.”
WHAT WE DO & WHY WE DO IT?
While we don’t aim to change the world with our stories, we do aim to bring a smile to your face and lighten up your heart with few good tiny tales, to let you have good times in our creative events, and create few joyful and memorable moments that you’d love to cherish for the rest of your life.
