What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior leadership role where I can combine commercial thinking, marketing, digital transformation and building. I thrive with ownership and autonomy—shaping strategy, building teams and processes, and driving measurable growth. I’m particularly interested in founder-led, growth-stage businesses embracing AI and new ways of working.

I’ve spent 23+ years building businesses, digital marketing engines and growth systems across India and North America.

My work sits at the intersection of business, marketing, technology and growth, from building and running a digital agency to working across D2C B2B, marketplaces, luxury retail and healthcare.

Over the years, I’ve worked across:
• Digital & performance marketing
• Ecommerce and marketplace growth
• CRM, customer retention and revenue operations
• SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
• Omnichannel marketing and customer acquisition
• AI-driven marketing workflows and operational excellence
• Building and scaling teams, agencies and new businesses

Today, I’m focused on the next evolution: using AI not simply as a marketing tool, but as a business capability.

I’m currently pursuing a Post Graduate Program in Business & Artificial Intelligence from Scaler, deepening my understanding of how AI, data and emerging technologies can be applied to strategy, marketing, operations and business growth.

I’m particularly interested in working with businesses where strategy needs to translate into execution, especially founder-led and growth-stage companies navigating digital transformation, AI adoption and the changing customer journey.

I’ve also founded and built businesses, giving me a perspective that goes beyond the agency or consultant lens: understanding what it takes to turn an idea into a product, acquire customers, build processes and make the economics work.
