About

I build marketing strategies by observing consumers not as targets; but as people like me. From a curious child sketching ideas and exploring how things work to a marketing professional shaping global campaigns, my journey has always been driven by curiosity, discipline, and a desire to create meaningful impact. After completing my MBA, I began my career at Dabur, where I built distribution networks and launched new products, learning the value of execution and consumer understanding. At Omnicom, I deepened my expertise in paid media and brand strategy, managing campaigns for global clients and balancing creativity with data-driven decision-making. Today, as a Client Services Manager at iOPEX supporting Fandom, I partner with global brands across international markets to deliver integrated marketing campaigns, drive client success, and translate business objectives into measurable outcomes. Working across diverse teams and regions has strengthened my belief that great marketing starts with empathy and collaboration. Outside work, I'm an avid marathoner, artist, and part-time ecopreneur who enjoys turning ideas into action. I thrive in environments where diverse perspectives fuel innovation, transforming insights into impact and challenges into opportunities.
