What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic communications, public relations, international events, and stakeholder engagement for global organisations, embassies, government institutions, research organisations, or brands.

I'm currently leading strategic communications, public relations, and operational delivery at Seraphim Communications for international organisations, embassies, and research institutions.

I've managed communications and event delivery for Fraunhofer India, media engagement for the German Sustainable Development Partnership, and stakeholder coordination for RE-INVEST 2024 through GIZ India. My work also includes diplomatic programmes for the Embassy of Ireland and programme planning, logistics, and stakeholder engagement for an Ethiopian research delegation.

I bring 15+ years of experience across strategic communications, media relations, international events, travel logistics, vendor management, and executive stakeholder engagement.

Earlier, I supported local brands and artists as a freelance brand consultant and content creator, launched and operated a boutique hospitality property at Indie Manali, and managed PR, artist coordination, event production, and client servicing at Shriji Entertainment.
