Entrepreneurial marketing leader driving brand strategy, omni‑channel growth, and founder‑level execution.
What I'm looking for
I am an entrepreneur and marketing leader with 14+ years of experience building brands, scaling retail and D2C businesses, and driving omni‑channel growth. I operate at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and performance, combining data‑driven execution with a founder mindset.
At Almond House I drove integrated retail and digital strategy across 14 premium outlets, delivering 10–25% YoY revenue increases and generating ₹70 Crores incremental revenue while owning marketing P&L and media ROI. I also led festive and gifting campaigns that achieved 25% YoY growth on new initiatives.
I have founded and scaled multiple D2C, lifestyle, and agri ventures, grew a coffee startup valuation from ₹15 lakhs to ₹5 Crores in two years, and mentored startups in B2C, beverages, and fashion on GTM strategy. I apply first‑principles problem solving, process design, and sustainable growth systems to create repeatable GTM funnels and conversion improvements.
I deliver brand strategy, content, and performance work—authoring brand guideline books, building CRM‑led acquisition and retention frameworks, and executing Google Ads, Meta, and Amazon Ads strategies. I seek roles where I can combine creative brand building with measurable commercial impact.
