Summary
Results-oriented digital advertising professional with 9 years of domain expertise in OTT, native, and performance ad sales, and a total of 16+ years of professional experience across media and financial services.
My journey began in finance at HDFC Private Banking and pivoted into digital advertising post-recovery from a personal health challenge—an inflection point that shaped how I lead, adapt, and build.
I’ve supported category-led growth, campaign innovation, and consistent revenue delivery in roles spanning news, classifieds, ad tech, fintech, and OTT.
I believe the best ad solutions are born at the intersection of insight, inventory, and narrative-driven instinct.
