Professional media person engaged in journalism, socio-political program production for TV and Radio, and teacher and trainer on media affairs for various institutions, Shirvanee believes that his profession is art: he has professed to create beauty in all things he does. Thus, his journalism (which he describes as his religion, the chosen way of life) is a career of designing beautiful pages, writing sharp headlines, rewriting trash into great copy, and in process turning raw young people into good journalists. His journalism has now become electronic where he has written, presented, produced, and directed interesting TV shows and Radio columns.
He started his media career in 1973 from Radio Pakistan as an approved artiste. He wrote his first play in 1974, and a sequel in 1975, thus establishing clearly his writing credentials at a very tender age. He has spent most of his life as a journalist, though theater is also one of his passions. He has written and directed a number of plays on stage. His work has also been presented out of Pakistan. He has worked for DAWN newspaper, The News International, The Muslim, The Mag Weekly, GeoTV, ARY One World, Express News, and IPNews magazine as full timer, and for various other organizations, including PTV, Aaj TV, and Indus TV as a freelancer. Though he has traveled to quite a few places, he lives in Karachi with his wife and two daughters.
The board of advisors of the Beehive Peoples Media is a body of professionals with wide ranging powers in the company. They can oversee any concluded project or program and their recommendations are binding on the company officials. The only authority they do not have is that they cannot initiate any program or project within a program which is the sole authority of the CEO and his team.
Anwer Shaikh is a management and finance professional with over 30 years of experience in his field. He has been committed to the concept of peoples media since mid-1980s. He played an important role in development of the core ideas of the company along with ensuring that the organization is structured in a professional manner. Under his guidance, the Beehive team improved its management as well as visual quality, since he is an acclaimed photographer who has also participated in group exhibitions. He left Beehive as he had moved away from Pakistan but is still in contact with the company management for moral and intellectual support.
Farhan Ihsan, the ace designer, had been instrumental in creating Beehive and almost all its programs with his creative ideas and support. He was the designer of the logo of Beehive as well as those of its several programs including DaesTV and RURJ. He was a member of the board since the very inception and took over as its chairperson after Mr Shaikh left for abroad. On 23 May 2018, he suffered from a heart attack and passed away. His memory would always be with us.
