What I'm looking for

Seeking senior communications roles spanning corporate reputation, strategic and executive communications, crisis/issues management and stakeholder engagement. Particularly interested in regional or global opportunities across technology, consumer internet, financial services and other fast-moving sectors.

I’m a corporate communications and PR professional with 8+ years of experience across consumer technology, BFSI, e-commerce, gaming and automotive, working both in-house and with leading communications agencies.

My experience spans corporate reputation, media strategy, executive positioning, thought leadership, crisis and issues management, and high-impact brand and product communications. I’ve built PR functions from the ground up, advised founders and CXOs, managed communications through M&A and regulatory environments, and led national campaigns for brands including Amazon, realme, InsuranceDekho, Loco and CARS24.

I’ve also worked across international markets, including communications mandates covering India, the GCC and Egypt, as well as supporting an international market launch in Australia. I enjoy roles where communications sits close to business strategy understanding the problem, shaping the narrative and translating complex business priorities into stories that matter to stakeholders.

I’m now particularly interested in opportunities across corporate communications, reputation, regional communications, executive communications and strategic communications, including roles with regional or international exposure.
