About

I am a Sales and Marketing professional who loves connecting brands with their customers. My journey started with a strong technical foundation in Computer Science, followed by a Master’s in Management Studies (Marketing). This combination allows me to understand both the "tech" and the "people" side of business. Today, I work at Business Standard, where I help businesses find their voice in a crowded market. My work isn't just about selling ad space; it is about solving problems. I spend my days meeting with marketing teams and CXOs, especially from real estate companies, to understand their goals and craft solutions that deliver real results. I also specialize in the dynamic world of events. I handle sponsorships and partnerships for all types of summits, ensuring that our partners get maximum visibility and value. A major highlight of my journey has been playing a key role in securing partners for the prestigious BFSI Insight Summit, working closely with editorial and operations teams to make it a success. Beyond events, I have successfully onboarded advertisers for iconic publications and special features, including the BS@50 Anniversary Edition, Indulgence, BS1000 Magazine, and the Banking Annual Magazine. Before joining Business Standard, I worked as a Customer Success Manager at HostFizia International. There, I helped over 100+ clients improve their digital presence and website performance. This experience gave me a deep understanding of the digital landscape, which I back up with certifications in Digital Marketing, Google Ads, AI-powered ads, and Cyber Security. I am passionate about helping brands grow, improving customer engagement, and delivering measurable results. I believe that whether it is a print campaign or a major summit, the goal remains the same: creating value through connection.
