Creative Director \| Agency \+ In\-house experience I Storyteller I Story Architect I Scriptwriter

## About

I build creative work that helps marketing leaders do their jobs better\. That usually means turning a brief into a clear story, then shaping it across film, stills, digital, and on\-ground touchpoints so it actually lands with people\. Over the years, I’ve worked with brands like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, WD, Lenovo, IBM, and Britannia across Ogilvy, McCann, and Epsilon\. At WD, I helped set up a creative capability in Bangalore and built a full still\-shoot and video production studio\. I’m especially interested in roles where creative thinking needs to scale across regions, teams, and business goals\.
