Gameskraft
Aug 20232 yrs 3 mosOct 2025

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

When I was approached by Gameskraft, my mind said no, but my heart wanted to explore the other side of the industry. After taking a calculated decision, I joined Gameskraft under the very talented Jayashree Basu who currently heads comms for Navi. Working with Gameskraft opened up new avenues in this very interesting industry of RMG. Apart from working on external comms with the team, I independently took care of Instagram, Internal comms and CSR comms. I also closely worked with the HR team on Employer Branding and Gameskraft always enabled me to explore beyond my function. I started the very first CSR Newsletter (The CSR Bulletin) along with SOPs on Internal Comms and Instagram. On the PR front, I worked on multiple campaigns and Comms for our brands, RummyCulture, Pocket52, etc. I also spearheaded the "Mere Kadmon Ke Peechhe" campaign for Gameskraft Foundation with support from Jayashree.
Adfactors PR
Jun 20221 yr 3 mosAug 2023

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Marked my formative time period in the PR industry with Adfactors, under veteran leaders. I worked with clients like Hershey India, Godrej Appliances, CEAMA and UPL. It was with Adfactors that I realised that PR is much more than media coverage, PR plans and campaigns. From gaining a solid foundation with Adfactors PR along with my previous work with agencies, I took a risky move which later turns out to be fruitful!

About

Communications professional with experience across agency and in-house roles, managing PR, corporate communications, media relations, and CSR comms for consumer, gaming, and wellness brands. Currently with Kapiva as Manager – PR and Corporate Communications, India's leading science-backed Ayurveda brand, I lead brand PR, corporate communications (internal and external), and community initiatives. Previously with Gameskraft, I managed external & internal communications, Instagram, CSR communications, and employer branding, launching the company's first-ever CSR Newsletter and driving multiple campaigns for the brand. My agency foundation at Adfactors PR, Weber Shandwick, and Ogilvy PR gave me hands-on experience managing accounts across FMCG, consumer appliances, agri-tech, healthcare, and technology, with clients including Godrej Appliances, Hershey India, UPL Ltd., GE Healthcare, and ABB. What drives me: the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and measurable brand impact. I believe great communications isn't just about media coverage, it's about building lasting trust between brands and the people who matter to them. Core expertise: Media Relations | Corporate Communications | | Internal Communications | Brand PR | Issues Management | Employer Branding | Content Strategy | Brand Campaigns
