Message

At SAYAJI HOTELS PVT LTD, I lead influencer marketing programs across lifestyle, travel, food and hospitality, from creator identification and outreach through content delivery and performance tracking. I also manage partnerships and brand collaborations for Sayaji, Effotel and Enrise.

I oversee PR strategy and media relations, and conceptualize and execute brand events and activations. I also steer creative, media and content agency partners and manage marketing budgets across hotel units.

Earlier, I built email automation workflows and content campaigns at SHOPWORX, researched market and competitor trends at DELOITTE, and developed travel-agency prospects at STUBA.COM. My experience also includes project coordination at KOHLER POWER INDIA PVT LTD and social media and event projects.
