About

Builder. Operator. Specialized generalist. Always figuring it out. After ~8 years across consulting, product marketing, growth, content and now building something of my own — I’ve realised one thing: there’s no single way to do this whole “career” thing right. From fancy boardroom meetings to scripting and shooting videos, to being on the ground with travelers and showing them around India like a guide, I’ve done a little bit of everything. What’s stayed constant? Choosing curiosity over convention. I’m currently working at the intersection of building, travel, and India at WizTrek / IndiHorizons — focused on reimagining how India is experienced and understood globally through thoughtful, well-designed journeys. Across education, culture, adventure, and wellness, I care deeply about showcasing how much India truly has to offer. As a traveller myself, I continue to be surprised by how much there is still to discover here. PS - Always open to thoughtful conversations around building, travel, content, and careers that don’t fit neatly into boxes.

Director - Growth & Marketing

Aug 2023 – Dec 2025 · 2 yrs 4 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Built the in-house content function from scratch - hiring the team, shaping the brand voice, and establishing content as a core lever for growth and financial education. Launched and scaled the YouTube channel to 100K+ subscribers within a year, while building content across Instagram, email, and in-app engagement.
Over time, the role expanded into leading the broader marketing function - overseeing performance marketing, customer acquisition, product marketing, and brand.
By far the most challenging, yet strangely the most effortless role. Challenging because content was entirely new to me. Effortless because it helped me discover something about myself - a love for storytelling, a comfort on camera, and the chance to meet and learn from so many people through the podcast.
Also the moment in my career when work stopped feeling like work, and became a natural extension of my identity :)
