  • About me

    With 18.5 years of experience in advertising, I have been mentored by industry experts like K.V. Shridhar and Nitesh Tiwari at Leo Burnett (Mumbai). I have worked with brands like Kingfisher, Rotomac, Eureka Forbes, NECC, Yes Bank, Set Wet, Moov, Kenstar, Milton, Greaves India, have led creative strategy and brand building for Uninor, Shiksha (P&G) and won awards for Rejoice Insights Playbook A Book on Strategic Brand Thinking, a P & G brand. The human insight is of key importance to my output and I strive to ensure the same is present in every work of mine. Another key aspect is my ability to build teams, motivate them and ensure optimum levels of efficiency. I take pride in the fact that my work is always consumer-centric with a keen eye on the client’s task on hand. I have always been recognised for my keen design sense and encouraged to bring my ideas to life.
