Summer Research Intern

Apr 2016May 2016 · 1 mo · Mumbai Area, India

  • DDB Mudra was my first expsoure to agency life. I immediately took a liking to the culture and the atmosphere of the place. My two-month summer internship was about understanding the programmatic media buying landscape. At the time, programmatic media buying was a novel concept to Indian agencies. My work was to break it down for the leadership team and the rest of the agency. My project listed down a ten-point road map to follow if DDB Mudra were to include it as a service offering.

Kpmg india

Associate Management Consultant

Jun 2012Jul 2015 · 3 yrs 1 mo · Bengaluru Area, India

  • My first job had little to do with marketing and everything to do with data analytics. In hindsight, this experience made me embrace 'big data'. It laid the foundation for me to easily grasp the ad-tech side of marketing. I'd attribute my comfort with Facebook Ad Manager, Google Ads, GlobalWebIndex etc. to my KPMG experience
  • More about my time at KPMG:
  • I was the principal resource at KPMG to handle data analytics and reporting solutions. Under the guidance of some great mentors within the organisation, I was able to develop a sound understanding of information architecture, data management systems and reporting. My expertise helped KPMG deliver solutions for clients across industries like
  • 1. Oil and Gas
  • 2. Pharamceuticals
  • 3. Finance
  • 4. Real Estate and Infrastructure development.
  • One of my projects included a 6 month stint in Doha, Qatar for Qatari Diar, a real estate company who are currently building Lusail City ( the city that is set to host the FIFA World Cup 2022 Final)
