About

I am an Insights and Analytics professional with over 14 years of experience spanning pharmaceutical brand management, strategic marketing, and consulting across key pharma verticals, including Generics, Innovative, and Patented formulations. Currently, I am working closely with the Scemblix global commercial team, supporting the launch strategy for 1L CML. Previously, I collaborated with the Cell & Gene and Kisqali International commercial teams, contributing to several critical strategic projects. Before joining Novartis, I spent over 9 years in the India brand management team at Zydus Healthcare. During this time, I managed a portfolio worth over Rs. 210 Cr.+ (AWACS), including flagship brands such as Pantodac (Pantoprazole and combinations) and Hyponat-O (Tolvaptan). I also oversaw the entire anti-ulcerant and IBS portfolio, leading a team of two Brand Managers as direct reports. My experience reflects a strong ability to work on global and cross-functional initiatives, drive data-driven insights, and manage high-value portfolios with a focus on delivering measurable business results.
