About

Consumer marketing expert with 13+ years of experience driving growth, engagement, and brand relevance for global tech platforms including Netflix and TikTok. I have worked across India, the UK, and North America, partnering with diverse, fast-moving teams and navigating different cultural, creative, and business contexts. This exposure has shaped a global perspective grounded in adaptability, empathy, and clarity. Proven at translating content, creators, and consumer insights into scalable go-to-market strategies that drive product adoption, habit formation, and sustained demand across highly competitive markets. A graduate in Media and Communications from Goldsmiths, University of London, I bring a deep understanding of storytelling across film, television, digital, and emerging platforms - paired with a strong business lens. My work sits at the intersection of culture, consumer behaviour, and platform growth, with a focus on building marketing systems that move audiences from awareness to engagement to long-term loyalty. I’ve learned that while performance and outcomes matter, enduring impact is built through strong partnerships where trust, clarity, and shared ambition drive results at scale.
