In a vibrant state already known for its electric nightlife and high-octane events, Mad Bull Goa is carving out a niche that’s fresh, fearless, and unmistakably authentic. Co-founded by Rhys Correia and Brianna Dsouza, this young homegrown event company has transformed a dream between two friends into a movement that’s redefining how Goa celebrates.
Mad Bull recently marked its first anniversary—12 months of adrenaline-pumping events, bold creativity, and a growing community that’s come to love their signature energy.
From Sneaking In to Standing Out
Before they were curating sold-out shows, Rhys and Brianna were on the other side of the barricade—young, curious, and constantly sneaking into parties, trying to understand what made them tick. The curiosity stuck. Both started off promoting events for other companies, learning the ropes and quietly forming a vision of something more personal and powerful.
That shared ambition laid the foundation for Mad Bull. Their synergy—Rhys with a background in engineering, Brianna with a knack for design and digital engagement—proved to be the perfect blend of structure and creativity.
The name itself is a story: born during a casual moment at D’Silva Fast Foods, where a joke about the Konkani word “piso” (meaning mad) collided with the sight of a Red Bull can. The rest, as they say, is Mad Bull history.
Built on Passion, Driven by Community
Mad Bull isn’t just about throwing parties—it’s about creating experiences. From the start, their approach has centered on authenticity, collaboration, and consistency. Each event is a reflection of who they are and the community they’re building—vibrant, inclusive, and unapologetically fun.
Their earliest days weren’t easy. Breaking into the competitive event space in Goa meant hustling for gigs, building a team from scratch, and proving they had what it takes. They started small, often leaning on close friends in the industry who believed in their vision. Today, those friends—Wena, Gavin, Wendel, and Alusha—remain a core part of Mad Bull’s journey and heart.
Leadership With Heart and Hustle
Rhys and Brianna lead Mad Bull with a shared philosophy: listen more, include everyone, and make people feel like they matter. Their approach to leadership is participatory, where team members are part of the brainstorming, execution, and post-event debriefs. When everyone feels invested, the output is not just professional—it’s personal.
It’s this culture of collaboration that keeps Mad Bull grounded even as they scale. And they’re scaling smart—by improving their event systems, growing their network, and ensuring that even as the crowd size increases, the signature Mad Bull vibe stays intact.
Facing the Music—Together
In an industry that’s fast-paced and often unpredictable, the team has learned to embrace challenges as part of the process. Whether it was securing their first big event or managing logistical hiccups, they’ve remained committed to their vision. For them, every setback is a setup for a stronger comeback.
Their biggest win so far? Watching Mad Bull evolve from an idea to a name people recognize, trust, and rally behind. What started as a passion project has become a brand that represents Goa’s evolving nightlife.
Innovation, Every Step of the Way
Keeping things fresh is a priority for Mad Bull. They don’t believe in following trends blindly—instead, they stay alert to what their audience wants and blend it with their own bold ideas. Each event is a creative experiment, and every success is a building block for something bigger.
Their adaptability and willingness to reinvent is what keeps them ahead of the curve. Whether it’s visuals, artist line-ups, or themes, Mad Bull is always trying to elevate the experience.
Work, Life, and Beach Days
Balancing the demands of the nightlife industry with personal wellbeing isn’t easy—but it’s necessary. Rhys and Brianna actively make time for friends, family, and themselves. Whether it’s beach hangouts or music sessions, these moments away from the grind help them stay grounded and inspired.
They also find joy in Goa’s laid-back charm—a balance to the energy they bring to every show.
Advice for the Dreamers
To aspiring entrepreneurs, their message is simple: start where you are. Don’t wait for the perfect plan or the biggest opportunity. Be consistent, stay curious, and lean on the people who believe in you. Your journey doesn’t need to be loud right away—it just needs to be real.
What’s Next for Mad Bull?
The duo has their eyes set on something major: bringing an international artist to Goa under the Mad Bull banner. It’s a long-held dream—and one that would be a landmark not just for them, but for the local event scene as well.
To make it happen, they’re continuing to build credibility by collaborating with top Indian artists, refining their brand identity, and expanding their audience. Strategic partnerships and standout experiences are the pillars of their next phase.
As they put it: “We’re just getting started. And we’re ready for the next level.”
The Mad Bull Effect
In just a year, Mad Bull has grown from a concept into a culture—a reminder that when passion meets purpose, anything is possible. Rhys and Brianna have not only created a business—they’ve created a movement that’s making Goa dance to a whole new beat.
If their journey so far is any indication, the future of nightlife in Goa looks mad good.
