Goan content creator Mario Pimenta has added another feather to his cap by securing second place at the Ganpati Reel Competition organized by the Spandan Film and Television Institute (SFTI), Surat. Known online as @mario_sarkaar, Mario regularly participates in content competitions across local, national, and international platforms, and this latest recognition adds to his growing list of accolades.
For his entry, Mario collaborated with classmate Cayfel Almeida, who captured video footage of vibrant Ganesh pandals in Margao. Mario then edited the clips to create a compelling Instagram Reel that showcased the cultural spirit of Goa’s Ganpati celebrations. The competition, organized by SFTI Surat— the city’s first inclusive film school— judged entries based on the number of views received on Instagram.
The first place went to The Curious Mind Academy, while Komal Agarwal secured third position. Mario’s recognition marks not only personal achievement but also highlights the creative potential emerging from Goa’s digital landscape. His storytelling approach, rooted in local culture and powered by modern editing techniques, continues to resonate with wider audiences.
This win during a culturally rich competition shines a light on the growing presence of Goan creators in India’s digital content scene, proving that meaningful stories can emerge from every corner of the country.
