Brand Strategist \| Campaign Execution & Brand Growth \| D2C • Consumer Tech • Lifestyle \| Open to Brand\-Side Roles

## About

I build brands that move people, and move product\. For the past 3\.5 years at Schbang, I've worked across some of India's most interesting consumer categories: gaming \(BGMI/Krafton\), consumer tech \(POCO, Imagine by Ample\), lifestyle \(Tekne, TVS X\), and D2C\. What I've learned is that the best brand work isn't about being clever, it is about being clear on who you're talking to, what you want them to feel, and how that connects to a business outcome\. Some things I've owned: • A campaign that drove Rs\. 10 Cr in revenue for a lifestyle brand in 2 months • 60 to 70 monthly assets for one of India's largest gaming titles, sustaining brand voice at scale • A complete brand and process reset for Imagine by Ample, taking CSAT from 0\.8 to 3\.5 in 3 months • GTM strategy and brand build for Tekne, a new lifestyle accessories brand, from positioning to launch I think in consumer insights, work in cross\-functional teams, and care about the work actually landing, not just going live\. Currently at Schbang as a Senior Brand Solutions Strategist\. Passively exploring brand\-side roles where I can own the full brand arc, from strategy through execution, and from insight to impact\. Open to conversations in D2C, consumer tech, lifestyle, and retail brand marketing\.
