About

Most marketers understand their industry. I've had to understand six. Food delivery. Gaming. Activewear. EdTech. Real estate. Regulated pharmaceuticals. Each required rebuilding brand intuition from scratch while delivering against hard commercial targets. That breadth isn't a detour. It's the edge. It means I arrive at a brief without category assumptions. I question positioning that's been hardened by habit. And I find growth paths that specialists miss. The record across those six industries: 700M+ campaign reach and ₹15 Cr+ quarterly revenue at Campus Activewear. 80,000+ monthly leads at ₹38 CPL at NIIT. GTM execution across 8 APAC markets in a regulated pharmaceutical environment. A 600+ creator network converting at 70,000 app downloads per month. In every case, the driver was the same clarity of positioning, systems that compound, and teams aligned behind a single commercial narrative. One thing most marketing profiles won't tell you: I started in B2B sales. At Zomato, I managed ₹18 Cr+ in monthly GMV across 20 cities and exceeded revenue targets by 150%. That background shaped a permanent bias — I treat marketing as a revenue function first, not a communications function. It's an unusual lens for a brand strategist. It's also why I'm effective as one. If you're building a brand that needs to perform, not just impress I'd like to talk.
