About

I'm a brand and GTM leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling brands across gaming, FMCG, automobile, and healthcare, spanning agency and product-led environments. Currently, I lead brand strategy, positioning, and integrated go-to-market narratives for one of India’s leading online gaming platforms, working closely with C-suite, product, growth, and external agencies to drive measurable brand lift, adoption, and efficiency across Tier-1 and Tier-2 markets. My work sits at the intersection of insights, creativity, and business impact; from shaping brand and product narratives to building full-funnel systems that improve recall, CTRs, CAC, and long-term retention. I've built and led cross-functional programs covering brand strategy, product education, creator-led communities, and lifecycle communication, delivering 80M+ reach, 260M+ impressions, and ~30% lower CAC than category benchmarks. I’m particularly interested in roles where brand plays a strategic role in growth, partnering with product and leadership teams to build brands that scale globally and are loved culturally.
