Professional Experience:

I commenced my career at The Indian Express Newspapers (Bom) Ltd wherein I helped build and market the Headstart brand which focused on job opportunities across sectors and categories. A highlight of this endeavour was our forming an alliance with Mid Day and Hindustan Times which helped enhance our scale and reach out to a much larger target audience. Prior to Headstart I was also instrumental in setting up and heading the Retail division of The Indian Express. Subsequent to Headstart, I worked with Rediffusion DY&R executing various media and brandbuilding plans of companies. Pursuant to this having taken a break, I looked to explore my entrepreneurial drive with the setting up of Sirius Solutions, a content and back office support entity.

Education:

After having completed my BA from St Xaviers College, Mumbai, I did my Masters in Marketing Management from R K Chetana’s Institute of Management. I have also received a Diploma in Marketing Management from Xaviers Institute of Communication.
