"BRAND MARKETING IS THE ART OF CREATING A LASTING IMPRESSION, PROVOKING DESIRE, AND FOSTERING GENUINE CONNECTION. IT IS THE HEARTBEAT THAT FUELS CONSUMER LOYALTY, BUILDS TRUST, AND SETS A BRAND APART IN THE EVER-EVOLVING MARKETPLACE."

About me

Hello, welcome to my page, here’s a short intro to get you going!

I’m a seasoned Senior Brand Manager with a passion for all things branding and marketing. Throughout my 8+ year career, I have had the privilege of working with marquee brands like Zeta, PhonePe, Smallcase, and Sun Mobility, and have even ventured into entrepreneurship with InMandi.

My unique journey has given me an in-depth understanding of both sides of the marketing and advertising industry, allowing me to craft and deliver compelling narratives that connect with consumers and drive brand growth. Whether it’s developing a brand from scratch or revitalizing an established one, I take pride in every step of the process.

What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to learn and share a new perspective about something new each day and to use that knowledge to make a tangible impact. I look forward to bringing this passion to future roles and challenges and continuing to grow both personally and professionally.
