What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead brand-building, media strategy, and business growth for B2B or D2C ventures, applying my experience across digital and offline campaigns, product launches, and scalable marketing operations.

I'm leading marketing and growth at Banyan & Buddha, expanding its B2B salon supplies business from Pune into Bangalore while managing Safecup operations, Amazon listings, customer care, sourcing, and new product development.

I've also founded Furrington, a sustainable pet care brand that generated ₹30K per month on Amazon and delivered 2.5x ROI at pet events. Previously, I led multimedia campaigns for Netflix at Wavemaker and digital media strategy for Mahindra Passenger Vehicles at Interactive Avenues, including the Thar launch and XUV700 pre-launch.
