About

I juggle multiple hats at Razorpay—leading marketing across multiple Central and Business Unit charters, scaling the SME business, and owning the P&L. I drive central marketing, steward the Razorpay mother brand across all products and units, and fuel growth for Payments, POS, Engage, and Cross Border. From social and digital to product marketing and product-led growth, I shape brands, build businesses, and turn marketing into a true growth engine—because why settle for just one challenge? Previously, I headed marketing at NestAway and started my career in Brand & Market Research at Kadence in Southeast Asia—blending consumer insights with brand strategy to drive impact.
