## About

Namaste\! Currently, I am leading new strategic initiatives at Stovekraft, working at the intersection of sales, marketing, and customer engagement\. As I navigate this journey, I continue to refine my understanding of business strategy, stakeholder management, and market dynamics\. Alongside this, I pursued my MBA at IIM Trichy \(Class of ’24\) and learnt the nuances of marketing, brand management, and consumer behavior\. My previous experience at IKEA India allowed me to work closely with diverse stakeholders, enhancing my skills in customer relations, business operations, and data\-driven decision\-making\. Beyond work, I have a keen interest in sustainability, consumer behavior, strategy, luxury marketing, psychology, and emotional intelligence\. Always eager to learn and grow, I look forward to connecting and exchanging ideas\. Cheers\!
