Early life and background
Vivek Gomber was born in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and spent part of his childhood abroad when his family moved to Singapore during his father’s job transfer. As a young adolescent he spent two years enrolled in the Singapore Army at his parents’ request. He later returned to pursue higher education, completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts and studying at Emerson College in Boston.

Career
Gomber began his screen career with an acting role in the 2009 film The President is Coming, and over time expanded his work to include both acting and producing. Early acting credits include Morning Fog (2006), Mumbai Calling (2007), The President is Coming (2009) and Court (2014), and he later appeared in SIR (2018). He played Arun Mehra in Mira Nair’s television adaptation A Suitable Boy, which premiered on BBC One in July 2020.

His profile as a producer rose with the release of Court (2014), directed by Chaitanya Tamhane. Gomber produced Court through the production company he co-owns with Tamhane, Zoo Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., based in Mumbai. Court earned significant festival and industry recognition, and Gomber accepted the National Award for Best Feature Film for Court. He also produced The Disciple (2020), a second collaboration with Tamhane that premiered at the Venice Film Festival and received the FIPRESCI Award. The Disciple was notable for competing in Venice’s Golden Lion and for having Alfonso Cuarón attached as an executive producer.

As an actor, Gomber took a committed approach to roles: for Court he gained weight and studied the mannerisms of lawyers to inhabit the part. Beyond Court and The Disciple, he has been involved with films that have appeared at prominent festivals; for example, Is Love Enough? SIR was shown at Cannes Critics’ Week, won a prize from the Gan Foundation, and later was submitted to the Film Federation of India for consideration as the country’s official entry to the Oscars in the International Feature Film category.

Public profile
Before his transition to film, Gomber worked as an investment banker. He relocated from Jaipur to Mumbai in 2002 to pursue acting. He has been publicly identified as unmarried and has been linked professionally and personally with actress Maya Sarao. His parents are Vinod Gomber, who worked in banking, and Meena Gomber, who served as a judge in the Rajasthan High Court.

Gomber has spoken about his attitude toward work and longevity in the industry, noting that at age 41 he still seeks projects he believes in and wants to keep working steadily. He has described Chaitanya Tamhane as a demanding director whose standards helped him grow as a performer.

Latest updates
In addition to producing The Disciple, which premiered at Venice and earned festival awards, Gomber continued to act in high-profile projects such as A Suitable Boy in 2020. His film Is Love Enough? SIR saw a theatrical release after pandemic closures and was supported in its international sales by the Hollywood agency ICM Partners. His company Zoo Entertainment produced both Court and The Disciple, maintaining an ongoing creative partnership with director Chaitanya Tamhane.

Personal notes
Gomber’s on-screen tastes include both Bollywood and international cinema: he has cited Agneepath (1990) and The Big Lebowski (1998) among his preferred films. Physical details commonly reported are a height of approximately 170 cm (about 5'7"), black hair and black eyes.

While he keeps a professional presence in both acting and producing, Gomber has described his career as still unfolding, emphasizing a desire to continue choosing meaningful projects and to keep working across mediums.
