Hi, I’m

Summary

With more than 10 years of experience in Pan India marketing across diverse industries and customer segments, including acquisition, conversion, and retention, I am a skilled communicator and storyteller with solid negotiation and persuasion skills.

I have experience in content, digital and social media marketing, advertising, and agency management. Regarding marketing collateral, I prioritize quality and strive for messaging and design. I am skilled in creating materials for B2C companies.

I am a self-starter who thrives on initiative and drive, executing with precision without detailed guidance. It is my speciality to adapt messaging and design to meet the nuances of the various forms of marketing collateral. I excel at project management and data-driven insights for ROI and market expansion.

Aside from work, I enjoy watching and playing sports such as cricket and football. I am a trekker, marathoner and cyclist on the weekends. Watching content, especially Bollywood movies, is when I am at peace.

I bring a wealth of experience and a passion for excellence to your team.
