About

With over a decade of experience, I've built a career rooted in a deep passion for consumer insights and brand strategy. From starting as an intern at Ogilvy to leading creative strategy, media buying, and community building at Experience Commerce, I’ve gained diverse expertise across multiple facets of marketing. My time at TI Cycles of India allowed me to drive the brand positioning and launch of electric vehicles, further sharpening my strategic skills. Now, as Brand Head for POCO Smartphones, I lead a high-performing team, creating impactful campaigns that forge stronger connections between brands and consumers. Throughout my journey, I’ve discovered the transformative power of marketing to shape brands and drive meaningful results.
