About

Over four decades, I’ve been fortunate to help shape India’s media, marketing, and content landscape — pioneering private FM radio and regional language advertising, building influential B2B platforms, launching international media brands, and leading transformation at the intersection of content, technology, and strategy. Today, as President – Business Development & Growth at The Media GCC, my focus is on helping U.S. media companies — from publishers and broadcasters to studios, agencies, and streaming platforms — leverage India-based Global Capability Centers (GCCs) to transform their operations. By partnering with leadership teams, I help organizations: - Reduce costs and improve margins in a challenging revenue environment - Scale operations across content, video, product, ad tech, and technology - Tap into AI-ready global talent pools for innovation and future growth My passion remains the same: building what doesn’t yet exist, bridging India and the U.S., and creating platforms and partnerships that enable the media industry to thrive in times of disruption.
