About

I'm a brand marketer with 3 years of experience across execution and strategy and a clear point of view on what makes brands matter to real people. My career has moved from the inside out: I started in influencer and communications, moved into creative and brand at Urban Company, then took on influencer marketing & partnership initiatives across categories at Blinkit. Along the way, I got sharper on what I actually love: the upstream work. The positioning. The consumer insight that makes a campaign earn its place in someone's day. That's where I felt the need to upskill and dive deeper and that's when I enrolled in MICA's Strategic Brand Management Advanced Programme, and used a deliberate career pause to go deeper on brand strategy, studying how India's most interesting D2C brands are built, what separates the ones that last from the ones that trend, and where the gap usually lives. Right now, I'm drawn to brands that are doing something genuinely new in India: premium categories, science-backed products, challenger positioning. Brands where the marketing work is real brand-building, not just performance noise. Open to brand marketing roles where I can bring both strategic thinking and the hands-on instinct I've built across new-age Indian companies.
