About Me

Multi -awarded Marketing and Communications leader with over 18 years of experience across media, e-commerce, fashion retail, and real estate. I drive growth through innovative GTM strategies, creative problem solving, building insight-based brand strategy and telling stories that deeply connect a brand with its audience. 

I’ve led marketing, PR, and Communications for India's largest senior living company Columbia Pacific Communities. Under my leadership, the brand grew from zero to USD 60 million in revenue (generated almost entirely through high ROAS Marketing efforts), achieving a high customer acquisition cost-to-lifetime value ratio. 

The brand also won a record-breaking 150 marketing awards, making it one of India's most awarded brands. 

I am a full-stack marketing leader, having gained expertise across brand strategy and positioning, digital and performance marketing, Creative and Content, PR and corporate communications. 

My work has won accolades, shaped brands from inception to becoming market leaders.

Career highlights include heading Content for Myntra, heading social media for Amazon Fashion in India, accelerating digital practices of Aditya Birla Fashion Brands as Creative Director at Sapient_Razorfish and being a profiling fashion and lifestyle journalist in Asia's largest read English news daily - The Times of India.
