Syed Mohd Irfan
A practitioner of conversation, media, and human understanding.
A listener, a storyteller, and the voice behind Memorywala.
At the heart of Memorywala is Syed Mohd Irfan, a media professional whose work spans more than three decades across print, radio, television and digital media.
Known for his distinctive style of long-form dialogue, Irfan has spent much of his career exploring the stories and reflections of extraordinary individuals. As the founder, producer and host of Guftagoo, he has engaged in thoughtful conversations with hundreds of distinguished personalities across cinema, literature, theatre, music and public life.
His work has also appeared on platforms such as BBC News, and he previously served as Editor-in-Charge of the Art and Culture Desk at Rajya Sabha Television, where he helped bring India’s cultural heritage to a wider audience.
Across these decades of conversations, Irfan has developed something rare, the ability to make people feel truly heard.
His dialogues are known not for quick soundbites, but for depth, patience and thoughtful exploration. People often find themselves reflecting on their lives in ways they never have before.
Memorywala brings that same spirit of listening into a more personal space, where individual journeys are given the time and attention they deserve.
