About

Since 2024, I have been serving as a Manager-Brand Marketing for world's leading digital payment network Visa's India & South Asia Team. Graduated from the flagship MBA Program of the Indian Institute of Management in 2024, with academic credentials in Marketing, Strategy, HR, and Digital Products & Technology. Started my career in Marketing in 2018 at HighRadius Technologies, as an Intern in their Product Marketing team. In the four years I spent at the organization, I learned about almost every aspect of Marketing on the job, including but not limited to, Content Marketing, Consumer Advocacy, Public Relations, Social Media, and core B2B Product Marketing. Became the youngest Manager in the Marketing team and led a team of 5 FTEs to deliver support to global teams in US and Europe. Completed my Mechanical engineering degree from KIIT University Bhubaneswar- while I never pursued a career in this sector, my time at KIIT has played a key role in my later career- it is from here that I landed a role at HighRadius, and also here that I built my foundation in writing and debating, two skills that I feel are critical to success in my role of a Marketer. Between all these things, I have written and published my collection of poems, completed key certifications in the field of Marketing, volunteered as a Student Representative in IIMB's Internal Committee, and done short stints/live projects with up & coming start-ups to constantly push the envelope and drive my personal and professional growth. I am passionate about what I do, and keen to always deliver the best. Open to networking, exciting conversations, sharing information, and creating value for myself and those around me in any way I can. If you have reached here, I thank you for reading this long bio in a world of terribly short attention spans.
