At Leisurelist, I built an AI-native content brand from zero to 115K+ views and 149 published videos across YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. I own content strategy, SEO, and distribution, and drove 2,000+ hours of watch time through organic growth.

At IAmEars, I owned brand communication across social, email, and in-app channels, growing website traffic about 4x and lifting in-app engagement about 20%. I also built tracking and reporting that surfaced user activity trends, and rolled out in-app surveys and a support-ticket system.

At Fydaa, I delivered 5x user-acquisition growth by redesigning pricing and building cross-channel funnels. I planned launch campaigns across paid media, SEO, WhatsApp, and offline events, contributing to a 25% lift in product adoption across successive launches.

At Ghost Kitchens India, I delivered 6x monthly revenue growth while leading an eight-member team. Earlier at Zomato, I ran in-app and social campaigns reaching 25M+ users and supported merchant acquisition and campaign programs across regions.
