Professional Experience:

I am a quiet and focused person who works really well as part of a team. I have good interpersonal understanding and communication skills, and am a confident leader with expertise in communication strategy and a strong track record in planning and executing communication & marketing campaigns and experiences. I excel at planning, be it budget, creative process, production process, Gantt, etc.

I have been expanding my role ever since I joined Veeville in 2011, and went from project lead to heading client services to producing & directing videos, and then to operations head managing major projects and initiatives for clients.

I have worked across the communication spectrum - Ad Campaigns, Internal Communication Campaigns, Events and Experiences, HR Modules, Employee Engagement, PR Campaigns, etc, for leading companies in:
FMCG/Retail: Titan, PepsiCo, Nando’s, ABInBev, Myntra, Levi Strauss & Co, Decathlon, and Quaker;
Finance: Canara Bank and HSBC;
Technology: Oracle, Kyndryl, SAP Labs, Practo, Epam, Harman, Fidelity and Ola;
Investment: Kalaari Capital;

Pharma: AstraZeneca, Dr Reddys and GSK;
& others like Lam Research, Applied Materials, Lowes, Timken, GE and GE Healthcare, HP, etc

With over 13 years’ experience in the integrated marketing communications sphere, I have gained a proven track record of running successful projects and campaigns - understanding brands and their communication & marketing goals - and creating communication strategies for them.

I also have cross-functional agency experience, having collaborated on projects with KPMG, Wunderman Thompson, Leo Burnett, CBRE, Avian WE, Edelman, the Government of Karnataka, and Multiple NGOs across the country.

I enjoy the outdoors, especially running and frequently participate in 10K & 21K events, with a goal to complete the ProCam Slam in 2026.
