What I'm looking for
As a strategic communications leader with over 19 years of experience, I specialize in building in-house content teams and shaping compelling brand narratives.

Currently, I serve as the Head of Corporate Communications and Executive Editor at the Retailers Association of India, where I built the content and editorial function from the ground up. I have directed comprehensive content strategies that align with policy and industry standards, ghostwriting for board members and CEOs, and spearheading brand storytelling for major retail summits.
