Driving Disruptive Innovation in Biscuits @ Britannia | Ex-Titan, Ex-TCPL

About

I am a curious marketer who has found a passion for building strong consumer-centric brands and product offerings at the intersection of strategy and execution. Currently, my mandate is to help build the Disruptive Innovation portfolio at Britannia - identifying new growth spaces in the Creams and Crackers categories, and evolving them into scalable innovations. Prior to this, I have held P&L and brand communication responsibilities across categories and international geographies within the FMCG and Retail sectors - contributing to the growth and relevance of some of the country's most-loved brands including Tata Sampann, Tata Salt, and Titan (Watches and Eyewear). My marketing journey began during my MBA at SPJIMR, Mumbai, where I specialized in Marketing with a minor in Information Management. I hold a B.Com (Hons) from SRCC, Delhi University.
