Summary

With over 9 years of experience in communications, I began my journey at NDTV, interning across various media departments to gain a holistic understanding of media operations. Starting with managing social media for special projects, I honed my skills in content creation and audience engagement. Transitioning into PR, I quickly adapted to the full spectrum of external, social, and internal communications across B2B and B2C clients. Throughout my career, I have worked in industries such as automotive, FMCG, education, and personal care, crafting PR strategies that align with brand vision. My expertise lies in strategic planning, content curation, media outreach, and relationship building. I have also contributed to crisis communication efforts and supported company closures while navigating high-stakes reputational challenges. My focus is on creating strong media and stakeholder relationships to drive brand objectives. Dedicated to delivering high-quality work, I strive for excellence while remaining pragmatic in execution. My leadership style fosters teamwork, collaboration, and results, ensuring high-quality and impactful communications while making the journey rewarding for my team.
