About

Building Brands. Breaking Barriers. Empowering Women. After two decades in academia, I now help experts, founders, and professionals tell their stories with clarity and influence. Through my Communication Consultancy AIDA Story, I design content strategies, craft brand positioning, and create powerful messaging. With 24+ years navigating the crossroads of media, academia, and brand strategy, I’ve worn many hats: Professor, Dean, PhD Supervisor, Journalist, Researcher, broadcaster, and now, a relentless champion of women in communication. Successfully leading two high-energy projects at home: my twin boys. The Mission? To turn storytelling into a power tool for impact, whether it’s brands finding their voice, women carving careers in media, or organizations crafting narratives that matter. The Journey So Far? Ph.D. & Two Masters' Degrees (Yes, I collected them like trophies, even bagged two Gold Medals in universities for academic excellence!) Award-Winning Leadership (Women Economic Forum, DSLA, ICJ Global Award, if it's about empowering women, I'm in). Media Maven (From Doordarshan & AIR to Dainik Bhaskar been there fo a few years) Corporate Consultant (Shaping communication strategies for brands, PR Trainings, Research Projects, POSH Trainings). 30+ Research Papers (Because research insights tell stories too!) IGNOU MOOC Writer & Editor for Advertising, PR and Integrated Marketing Communication (Educating the next-gen marketers before MasterClasses was cool.) Biggest Experiment Yet? AIDA Story - where we’re crafting narratives, strong brands, and creating livelihood opportunities for women in media & communication. Because storytelling isn’t just about words; it’s about impact. Want a brand story that stands out? Let’s make it unforgettable.

Founder

Mar 2026Present · 1 mo · Gurugram · Hybrid

  • Trust Circle is a curated professional network for founders and leaders built on structured referrals and meaningful collaboration. It comes with the belief that most professionals don’t have a referral problem. They have a credibility problem. Professional growth should not depend on luck. It should be designed.
