About

I am currently part of the Mahindra Group’s leadership program (MLP), working as a Digital Sales & Marketing manager, driving national-level digital and media-led initiatives with a focus on performance marketing, campaign optimisation, and business impact. My role involves end-to-end planning and driving sales volumes through digital channels at scale, managing hyperlocal programs, working with the regional sales team and agencies to improve conversion and efficiency across the funnel. Previously, I have worked as a strategy manager with the Group Strategy Office and in frontline automobile sales roles, which have helped build a strong understanding of business fundamentals, category dynamics, and on-ground execution. I hold an MBA in Marketing from SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai. Before my MBA, I worked as a Marketing Associate at Ayurnova, where I drove digital growth, D2C e-commerce setup, and overseas business development initiatives.
