About

I lead enterprise brand and corporate communications for high-growth technology and media companies navigating scale, scrutiny, and transformation. Over 18+ years, I have worked directly with founders and executive teams to shape public narrative, strengthen institutional credibility, and manage reputation during moments of expansion, crisis, and major change. My experience spans: • Building global communications functions from the ground up • Steering narrative during India’s largest hostile takeover (Mindtree) • Shaping platform positioning amid regulatory and geopolitical sensitivity (ShareChat) • Scaling international storytelling for a profitable entertainment-tech company (Pocket FM) I operate at the intersection of business strategy, brand architecture, and executive communication — translating complexity into clarity and credibility. I believe communications is an alignment among vision, market perception, and institutional trust.
