Deepali Guneta-Singh, 27, is a Mumbai-based social media manager with a Master's in business analytics, living a life deeply intertwined with both her professional career and her fervent passion for Formula 1. She has cultivated a significant online presence as the primary moderator and race recap curator for a 2,000-member F1 Discord server.

Deepali’s approach to managing the Discord server is highly structured, mirroring her analytical background. She spends hours meticulously collecting data from various free sources, including snippets scraped from APIs and her own manually compiled spreadsheets, to construct detailed race recaps. These recaps, featuring tables of results, standings, and circuit context, are her hallmark contribution, ensuring the community remains informed and engaged. She recently decided to implement a more rigorous fact-checking protocol for all data points shared in the channel after a minor discrepancy caused a brief stir among members, underscoring her commitment to accuracy. This dedication to providing valuable, well-researched content stems from her core values of community, responsiveness, and useful communication, positioning her as a respected figure within her online sphere. She views her work on the Discord not just as a hobby, but as a vital contribution to fostering a knowledgeable and passionate F1 fan base in India, and she's constantly seeking ways to improve its utility and reach.

Background & daily life

A day in their life

Deepali's weekday typically begins around 7:30 AM. After a quick breakfast and checking her personal phone for any urgent notifications from the F1 Discord, she starts her commute to the startup office, often listening to an F1 podcast. Her workday is a whirlwind of social media strategy meetings, content scheduling, and analytics reporting. Lunch is usually a quick affair at her desk while reviewing comments and DMs. Post-work, she might hit the gym or meet a friend for chai. Evenings are dedicated to her F1 community: updating spreadsheets with recent race data, drafting recap posts, responding to member queries, and moderating discussions. She aims to wind down by 11 PM.

Work life

As a social media manager for a growing tech startup, Deepali juggles brand campaigns and engagement.

She prefers to gather information from multiple sources, cross-reference data, and consider the potential impact on the community before acting. For personal decisions, she weighs pros and cons, often seeking input from trusted friends or family, but ultimately relies on her analytical judgment.

How they sound
