About

With 20 years of marketing experience under my belt, I am an award-winning marketing leader who has built a reputation for driving results. My creative and innovative approach has resulted in many award-winning marketing programs for leading brands like MeritTrac, Wipro Technologies, and Accenture among other brands. As a marketing thought leader, who has worked across IT services & product, education, retail and consulting sectors, I have collaborated closely with universities, industry bodies, analysts, and research firms globally, providing best practices and insights to customers across sectors. My articles on marketing and strategy have been published in leading publications like Forbes, Business Standard, Impact, and People Matters, among others. My book, "The Thought Leader Way," has been hailed by #1 leadership coach, Marshall Goldsmith, as the ultimate guide to thought leader marketing. As a guest speaker at Ivy League universities and marketing conferences worldwide, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. My achievements have been recognized by CMS Asia, which named me among the Top 10 Content Marketing Consultants in APCA & Japan, Thinker's 360 has named me among Top 100 Thought Leaders in Marketing and Linkedin has recognised me as a Top Voice on their platform. I am also proud to serve as an advisory panel member of Harvard Business Review and LeanIn India's HeforShe initiative. I am also a certified coach working closely with organisations and individuals and helping them maximise their true potential. With a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Bangalore University, an MBA in Marketing & Finance from IMI Belgium, and a Doctorate of Excellence in Marketing Management from UET America, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and marketing acumen to any organization looking to drive growth, innovate, and bring a fresh perspective to their organization.
