- DIMAPUR — Drawn to
storytelling and content creation from a young age, Kakivi Chishi often found
joy in experimenting with video editing tools and helping friends visualise
their ideas. However, it was during the pandemic—a period of pause and
reflection—that a turning point came.
- Noticing a
lack of established marketing agencies in Nagaland, he identified a need for
creative and branding services in the region. This led to the founding of KAKI
Marketing in February 2021 with a clear mission: to empower local brands,
support entrepreneurs, and take brand Nagaland to the world.
- Having done
his high schooling at Woodstock School in Mussoorie before graduating from
Delhi University, Chishi, the managing director of the agency, has since guided
KAKI into a full-service creative agency and official media and marketing
partner for major events including the Nagaland Super League, Hornbill
Festival, and North East Games.
- The agency
has also launched two verticals—KAKI Studios, a production arm, and AHIBI.in, a
homegrown online ticketing platform supporting event organisers across the
Northeast.
- Over the
years, Chishi has worked with a wide range of professionals—from high school
dropouts to trained specialists—and has employed over 40 individuals united by
a shared belief in the creative potential of Nagaland.
