What I'm looking for
I’m currently looking for projects and opportunities across marketing leadership, brand strategy, digital and communications and I am open to full-time, consulting and project-based roles.
Over the last 18+ years, I’ve worked across organisations of different scales and sectors - including Nykaa, Vodafone, Sony, PUMA and Zee. Each phase has taught me something different, and reinforced the belief that marketing gives you the privilege to move across contexts as long as you stay deeply consumer-led, business oriented, strategic, and creatively curious.
I have truly enjoyed stepping into complex environments to take on some audacious projects whether it was launching 4G in Mumbai when Jio was creating tectonic shifts in the industry, driving the Vodafone – Idea brand merger, launching a new channel ‘Zee Punjabi’, building on Nykaa for Men, taking up big data projects before AI was mainstream and handling the digitization mandate of 46 channels across the ZEE network, or leading big campaigns with the iconic ZooZoos and managing shows like Kaun Banega Crorepati.
