# Shruti Gowda on Tal

## Headline

Brand, Growth & Partnerships Leader \| 10\+ years \| Unicorn\-scale experience across Strategy, Alliances & Integrated Marketing\.

## About

I've spent the better part of a decade building brands, partnerships, communities, and twice, my own companies\. My career started at Swiggy in 2015, when it was still finding its feet\. Over five years, I worked across city marketing, national alliances, and category strategy; building partnerships with HDFC, IndiGo, Google Pay and Sodexo, launching the first Swiggy Food Court at Kempegowda International Airport, and designing the BTL Marketing Playbook that was adopted across 170\+ cities PAN India\. After Swiggy, I took the founder's path, twice\. I built Kosha, a D2C home lifestyle brand, navigating post\-COVID supply chain reality firsthand\. Then Natural Clan, a premium freeze\-dried pet nutrition brand, where I spent 8 months perfecting the product with a nutritionist before the market was ready\. Both taught me more about what marketing actually needs to do for a business than any corporate role could\. That founder lens is now my biggest differentiator\. Today, I work at the intersection of brand, growth and partnerships helping organisations build visibility, acquire the right audiences, and create alliances that compound over time\. I'm energised by roles where I can shape direction, not just execute briefs; ideally at a company that values culture as much as growth, and where there's real room to build something meaningful\. If you're building a consumer brand, a D2C business, or a community\-first organisation in Bangalore and need someone who can lead brand and partnerships strategy — let's talk\.
