Here's a little about the person behind the work.

I'm a growth marketer with product and brand marketing experience across agency and in-house settings. From executive communications to customer engagement — I've worked with some of the best brands and startups in South Asia, the UK, and globally.

From my first career as a digital marketer to the interview-inspired journalist to the copywriting and content creation work I do today — there's nothing I love more than sitting down with another human to uncover the story and heart behind their work.

Currently, I'm managing marketing and growth at Vector Agents — an AI company building digital employees with human outcomes. I'm also building Cocoon, a platform for upskilling and reskilling talent for the future. And I continue to co-lead Buildin Blocks, the marketing agency I co-founded during the 2020 lockdowns.

I love to speak, write, and connect. I play basketball, hockey, and swim. I've always loved a hike to the mountains, a visit to the beach, or a ride to the countryside on a motorbike.

"Your voice is powerful. Your work is powerful. And your story needs to be powerful enough to turn your readers and viewers into the clients and customers you've been dreaming about."

The people who made me who I am.

My family keeps me motivated. My mum has gone through a lot and she is a custodian for who I am today. My brothers and my grandma have always stood by my side. So have my friends. They are there for me when I need them and hopefully, I would too.

The World is full of so many beautiful hearts, work and events — yet to be discovered and told.
