About Swarna Bharat TV :
Swarna Bharat TV is a mission-led creative platform telling precise, high-quality stories on Bharat’s history, culture, spirituality, and knowledge systems. Our YouTube channel is live with RashtraGaatha, and we’re rolling out twelve original shows—animated series, on-field documentaries, studio formats, and feature specials.

You’ll turn scripts and visual beats into high-retention edits, plan A / B openings, coordinate motion / AI editors and an intern per task, and keep projects organised for fast iterations. Colour is handled by DoP / grade where needed; your focus is story, rhythm, structure, and delivery.
