Rutiwik Deshpande is the Mumbai-based poet and spoken word artist. Heaving through daily occurrences, with universal themes of identity, love, society, and the struggles and woes of modernity, his style is inherently evocative and profoundly personal. In this, he has cultivated an art form wherein the narrative words seem to come alive and transform him into one of the most significant contemporary poets India has to offer.

One of the highlights of his career is his poetry concerts, which is a fusion of performance and art. He regularly recites his poems live for the audience with emotions raw and speech articulate, creating an intimate atmosphere that engages the audience as participants rather than just passive listeners in the poetic experience. Rutiwik's concerts explore deeper social issues that call for reflection and conversation.

The reason why Rutiwik has done so well is that he is relatable in all his content, his performances energetic, and he has increased presence on digital media. This has made him popular in multiple social media sites as his poetry is followed by a huge population, who are mainly youngsters, attracting them to his raw style. His poems speak to personal as well as collective experiences and thus make many relate to him. This helps him reach out to fans in various parts of the country and even beyond.

He will, through his concerts and collaborations and online presence, remain one of the most influential voices in contemporary literature, carving a niche for himself in Indian poetry and spoken word.
