About

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to shape some of India’s most dynamic public spaces—shopping centres, tech parks, cultural venues—creating experiences that connect people and build lasting value for brands. Much of my work has been about driving transformation: taking online-first brands into the physical world, building formats from the ground up, & crafting ecosystems where commerce, design, community come together. I believe every space has the potential to tell a story—and when done right - that story not only attracts but retains. I enjoy being the bridge between strategy and execution, helping brands and businesses unlock both meaning and momentum. From launching new retail formats to reimagining how people engage with everyday spaces, my focus remains on creating places people remember—and businesses that thrive.
