About

I am a Brand Advisor and Strategist to small, medium and large brands, to help them get bigger and better! With over 20 years in the industry, some of my clients include Dell, Titan, Zeiss, Taneira, Moengage, Banyan Nation, Ramco Systems, Probe42, Hector beverages, Assetz properties, Kadence, Serrala and many start-ups... I work with MDs, CEOs, CMOs and new-age entrepreneurs to give them clarity and food for thought on their brand's journey. Together we aim for more brand awareness, preference, loyalty, market share and differentiated positioning, through insightful brand communication strategies and ideas! Our process is to first work with consumer insights and ask the right questions. We then define the target audience well, then the brand personality, story, positioning and tone of voice. After which we look at design, communication strategy, offline and online media strategy and campaign management, community building, reputation management etc. My philosophy- Think Big. Start Small.
