About

Your brand needs a story. I will tell you a story - your story - in a way you’ve never heard before. I want to find stories and tell them to the world. Stories are the most humane form of literature - the foundation of creativity. They’re woven into everything we do and the content we consume. So, the best way to reach a consumer is to tell them a story. Always. In a nutshell: I help brands grow by positioning them as market-fit and weaving stories rooted in deep Indian consumer truths. I was born in Varanasi, studied in Delhi, and work out of Mumbai - and in between, I’ve explored 22 + cities across India, observing how people live, talk, shop, pray, hustle, and scroll. My work is built on that everyday research - soaked in conversations, contradictions, and culture. I understand India, not just as a market, but as a (baazar) of emotions, languages, habits, and rituals. From Tier 1 metros to Tier 3 towns, from WhatsApp forwards to Insta Reels, from puja samagri to protein bars - I’ve helped brands make sense of it all. I am your creative lender, the last strategic leaf on the O. Henry tree, your marketing Bukowskian friend, and everything that Forrest Gump and Morgan Freeman would talk about while sitting by the Ganges, sipping Banarasi chai. Whether it’s repositioning a legacy FMCG player, crafting a disruptive campaign for a challenger brand, or building one from scratch - I bring insight-led strategy, creative firepower, and a real understanding of how India thinks, feels, and buys. Past Work: Branding 20+ consumer brands | Marketing restructuring for 3 startups | Campaigns with pan-India impact across regions, cultures, and behaviours I love solving messy brand problems and shaping stories that people remember. Let’s create a story for India. Let’s talk.
