About

I am a founder, a digital marketing expert and a gen ai educator. Currently, I run two ventures – Digital For Non Profits & Digicated. Recently got recognized as among the top 40 marketers in India by Business World. Outside of work I am a lifelong student of yoga and have a keen interest in books & investing. 1) Digital For NonProfits (D4NP) aims to bridge the social divide digitally. Built to empower Nonprofits, D4NP leverages technology grants, generative AI & digital marketing to make non profits self-reliant. 2) Digicated is a premier generative AI advisory firm that enables digital first brands accelerate their generative AI maturity to create value. Before this I spent 12 years at Google & worked across functions including operations, automation, performance & product marketing. As a product specialist, I led commercialization across search, web analytics, mobile UI/UX efforts and developed the Google Ads & Analytics products. Over these 12 years at Google I became a sought after digital marketing expert with deep learning across Google, Meta, Linkedin & Amazon ad suites. In my last role I worked as a product marketing manager enabling the Google Ads and Analytics suite for the top 300 advertisers and top 10 media agencies in India. Over the course of my career I’ve managed $ 500 M+ budgets across brands and verticals in the US, UK, & India. As a digital marketing expert I’ve also mentored over a dozen startups across gaming, fintech & agritech for the Global and India Google Startup Accelerator. Besides this I led digital marketing education at Google taking ad solutions to CXOs, practitioners & agencies for over half a decade. Having built expertise across ad platforms, I've now been teaching digital marketing at top management universities like MICA, ISB, IIM A, IIM B, Great Lakes, BITS among others to educate students & share best practices. Ironic considering I never went to a management university myself. Surprising things have happened every time I shared what I learned, experienced or read – whether that be capability or perspective. This principle became the pivot to build my own workshops & a personal website to educate and enable.
