Mumbai, India – April 2nd, 2025 – The Pap Scene, India’s first paparazzi-on-demand service, launched today, offering a unique opportunity for public figures who deserve the spotlight but often go unnoticed by the media. From actors and musicians to rising stars in sports, stand-up comedy, podcasting, and social media influencing, The Pap Scene captures high-profile personalities in locations of their choice, creating aspirational moments that elevate their public image and connect them with millions of fans.
As part of this initiative, The Pap Scene has onboarded leading Mumbai-based paparazzi media outlets with a combined reach of over 10 million followers, ensuring that every sighting gets the attention it deserves. These major outlets regularly feature A-list celebrities, and now rising stars can have their moments captured and shared with the same prominence. Whether it’s a casual lunch at a popular café or attending a high-end event, The Pap Scene guarantees that every sighting is accompanied by extensive paparazzi media presence.
“We saw a major gap in the way public figures are portrayed in the media,” said Vinay Maurya, Founder of The Pap Scene. “There’s a whole group of people who are just as deserving of the limelight but don’t have the media attention they need. With The Pap Scene, we’re bringing this experience to rising stars, giving them the exposure they deserve and helping them become icons in their own right.”
The Pap Scene operates on a monthly retainer model with four customizable packages, ranging from basic “Spotting” services to tailored, high-profile exposure at major events. Clients can choose from packages that cover everything from casual hotspots to elite venues, ensuring every sighting is aligned with their image. Each moment captured is shared across major paparazzi media outlets, guaranteeing maximum visibility.
