About

Associate Vice President with 13+ years of experience in banking, spanning branch leadership, retail and credit roles, and corporate communications. I operate at the intersection of business strategy, brand, and institutional reputation within regulated financial services environments. I work closely with senior leadership to shape and steward narratives that influence regulators, media, investors, and customers—particularly at inflection points that demand precision, judgment, and long-term credibility.My role involves owning communication strategy for high-visibility initiatives, leadership messaging, and reputation-sensitive engagements, ensuring alignment between business priorities, regulatory expectations, and public narrative. Having led branches earlier in my career, I bring strong commercial and operational context to communication strategy. This allows me to advise leadership with practical insight into how business decisions translate into public perception and stakeholder confidence. I am currently strengthening my capital markets perspective through IIM Calcutta’s Investment Banking & Capital Markets program, enhancing my ability to engage credibly with investor, media, and institutional stakeholders.
