Product Marketing at PhonePe | Ex-Zoho

About

Developer turned marketer. Storyteller by choice (or maybe destiny). I didn’t choose marketing, marketing chose me. I bridge the worlds of product, sales, and marketing to craft stories that not only sell, but stick. From SEO tweaks to GTM plans, I love digging into market intelligence, shaping campaigns, and pushing bold ideas like ABM, influencer collaborations, and brand storytelling that actually move the needle. When I’m not tweaking positioning or dissecting competitor moves, you’ll find me running ultra trails, climbing rocks, or creating travel content. I’ve learned that endurance, curiosity, and creativity outdoors make us sharper marketers indoors. If you love good stories, bold marketing ideas, or just mountain views, we’ll get along just fine. Thanks for hearing my story🙂
