About

I have spent 15+ years inside the creative industry — not as a spectator, but as the person building the machine. I started at Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects, running the Coimbatore center before moving up to lead operations across South India as Regional Head. That taught me what it takes to run multiple locations, hit revenue targets, manage faculty, and keep the lights on, all at the same time. From there I moved into education leadership as COO of Yellow Tree Academy, then took on India operations for Orita Sinclair Singapore as Country Manager, where I was accountable to a Singapore HQ for P&L, partnerships, and program delivery across the country. In 2020, I started Yellow Circle Studios, a full-service creative and performance marketing agency based in Coimbatore. Over five years, my team and I grew it to 40 people across four departments, served 400+ clients, and built the agency to INR 8 Cr in annual revenue. We worked with brands like Kingfisher, Bewakoof, Juicy Chemistry, Sri Krishna Sweets, Hill Tiller Coffee Roasters, Crocodile, Bounce Infinity, and Adani — handling everything from brand identity and packaging to digital campaigns and website design. I did not just lead the creative work. I hired the teams, designed the delivery systems, managed client relationships, owned the P&L, and made sure everything that went out the door was something we were proud of. That is what I mean when I say I am an operator. I am currently Business Development Head at BigBoost AI in Chennai, leading new business and client acquisition for a performance marketing and social media agency.
