About

I’m a global communications leader with over 18 years of experience across India, Southeast Asia, and North America; building narratives that shape brands, inspire trust, and drive business impact. At Peak XV Partners, I lead global communications; shaping the firm’s storytelling, reputation, and engagement across our portfolio, media, and ecosystem. My work brings together strategic storytelling and brand building to help founders and teams communicate with clarity and purpose. Before joining Peak XV, I worked with some of the best founders and incredible teams at Airbnb and DoorDash — organizations defined by their ambition to build, innovate, and reimagine categories. There, I led award-winning campaigns, partnered with global agencies, and crafted narratives that built deep consumer connection and brand love. My expertise lies in developing communication strategies that bridge global and local perspectives — helping brands and leaders tell stories that matter.
