About

Hey there! I am a Product Explainer Enthusiast. I love to work with technology companies, and develop content around their innovative products - that is high impact and drives results. The objective? To help boost Sales or provide after-sales support. A little background - I'm an Engineering grad from MNIT Jaipur who's donned many Marketing hats since. From leading teams at Dentsu to working as a Brand Manager for fast growing startups, I've always loved work that requires thinking critically and getting creative. And then there's Aniket, my partner in crime. Thanks to his experience with Netflix and Disney as a Film Editor and with multiple Fortune 500 brands creating visually stunning graphics, he has an eye for detail and a design aesthetic that is hard to find. Together, we're the team behind Expresso. By leveraging our expertise in technology, content creation, design and video editing, we produce compelling and easy-to-consume PRODUCT EXPLAINER materials for tech companies.
