What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a dynamic marketing and sales professional with over 5 years of diverse experience in brand management, general trade, and modern trade. My journey has taken me through renowned organizations like Britannia, Bajaj Consumer Care, and Kapiva, where I have honed my skills in crafting impactful brand strategies and driving sales growth. I hold an MBA in Marketing from NMIMS, Mumbai, which has provided me with a strong foundation in strategic thinking and execution.

Currently, as a Brand Manager at Britannia Industries, I spearhead the product and marketing strategy for the Rusk portfolio, driving growth for a substantial annual business. My role involves leading a complete brand strategy transformation, launching innovative campaigns, and enhancing brand visibility across various platforms. I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure that our marketing strategies align with business objectives and resonate with our target audience.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and innovation, whether it’s through executing comprehensive marketing strategies or optimizing brand health metrics. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to the success of forward-thinking organizations.
