PR & Communications Leader | GTM & Partnerships | Led ₹12 Cr National PR Campaign | Built UAE Market Entry | Ex-CMO, Talrop | Open to Bangalore

About

PR and Corporate Communications leader with 8+ years of experience, distinguished by the ability to also drive go-to-market strategy and partnership development—not just tell the story, but build the distribution behind it. I led a ₹12 Crore national PR campaign with Times of India across 16 states, working with 2,800+ students and 1,000+ campus leaders. I've also built Talrop's first international market entry into the UAE through media and exhibition partnerships with Khaleej Times and Gulf Madhyamam, directly enabling an EdTech venture to begin signing schools in the region. I've advised founders on executive communications and crisis response and led a 150+ member communications, brand, PR and events organization across a four-venture ecosystem spanning EdTech, Social Media, Agritech, and healthcare—within a company that scaled from 12 employees to roughly 600. Currently exploring senior PR, Communications, and GTM/partnerships leadership roles, based in Kochi and open to relocating to Bangalore. Reach me: ajeesh1821@gmail.com | +91 9746323312
