About

For over 15 years, I've helped organizations modernize complex media operations by combining business strategy, AI-enabled automation, and technology-led transformation to deliver measurable business outcomes. My experience spans Broadcast, OTT, Digital Media, Content Operations, and Media Asset Management (MAM), where I've partnered with business leaders, product teams, engineering, and executive stakeholders to solve operational challenges, streamline workflows, and build scalable digital platforms. At Zee Entertainment, I led enterprise initiatives focused on workflow automation, platform modernization, AI-driven metadata automation, and digital transformation. Rather than simply improving existing processes, I enjoy understanding how organizations operate, identifying bottlenecks, and designing practical, technology-enabled solutions that improve efficiency, governance, and user experience. Key achievements: • Reduced manual effort by 40% through AI-powered metadata automation. • Improved operational efficiency by 35% by redesigning enterprise content workflows. • Increased digital user journey completion by 25% through analytics-driven platform optimization. • Led cross-functional transformation initiatives across Product, Engineering, Analytics, Design, and Business teams. • Developed business cases, PRDs, RFPs, and RFIs for AI and digital transformation initiatives supporting enterprise decision-making. Today, I'm expanding my expertise in Generative AI, LLM applications, AI workflow automation, intelligent content operations, and enterprise AI platforms. I'm particularly interested in helping organizations apply AI to automate content supply chains, optimize business processes, and unlock new commercial opportunities.
