Job description

Hyper Quest is one of India's fastest-growing research-driven media platforms, dedicated to exploring humanity's biggest questions through science, philosophy, history, psychology, spirituality, and culture. We don't create content to promote a particular ideology — we investigate ideas with curiosity, evidence, and intellectual honesty.

Our mission is to simplify complex topics into engaging stories that inspire millions to think critically and explore different perspectives. Every documentary, podcast, and educational video is built on rigorous research, compelling storytelling, and high production standards.

Today, Hyper Quest has built a community of over 3 million followers across YouTube and other social media platforms, reaching millions of viewers every month through documentaries, podcasts, interviews, educational videos, and short‑form content.

Over the years, we have also collaborated with and hosted conversations featuring renowned scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs, historians, authors, monks, educators, and thought leaders from diverse disciplines, bringing together ancient wisdom and modern knowledge on a single platform.

Hyper Quest is part of Hyperfinity Creations Private Limited, alongside Shikshanam and The Prapancha. The company is founded by Vishal Chaurasia, an IIT graduate who left government service to build one of India's most impactful educational media companies.

At Hyper Quest, we're not just creating content - we're building a world‑class knowledge platform that encourages curiosity, independent thinking, and lifelong learning.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Creative Writer and Editor who can turn our research packs into engaging YouTube scripts and assist creatively in post-production. Their responsibility will also involve editing podcasts/content from raw footage - trimming boring or dull parts and keeping engaging chunks - while also repurposing long‑form and podcast content into clips and reels.

This is not just a creative writing role - you'll be responsible for content curation, repurposing, building highlights for podcasts, extracting engaging excerpts and reels, coordinating with editors, and ensuring that every piece of content is executed with clarity and creativity that is aligned with our brand experience.

You will work closely with the founder and the creative team to produce documentaries, podcasts, YouTube videos, interviews, and social media content viewed by millions of people.

If you love storytelling, understand audience psychology and the art of hooking audiences with content, and enjoy writing meaningful content that makes people's learning enjoyable, we'd love to hear from you.
