Executive Overview

Marketing Leader with 15+ years of experience in building iconic brands, shaping customer experiences, and driving high-impact growth across industries. My career journey spans Asian Paints, Aditya Birla, Amazon, and Infosys, where I’ve blended the science of marketing with the art of storytelling to deliver both strong business results and memorable consumer connections. At Asian Paints, I lead brands with over ₹30,000 Cr in sales, shaping brand architecture, customer journeys and experience, that strengthened one of India’s most trusted consumer brands. At Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail, I set up new categories from scratch in the athleisure, active, and innerwear space, scaling them into profitable growth engines. My experience at Amazon and Infosys further sharpened my understanding of technology, scale, and program management in global-first organizations. What drives me is building customer-centric strategies that translate into measurable growth, whether through brand building, innovative retail formats, or loyalty ecosystems. I thrive on solving complex business challenges, leading cross-functional teams, and shaping marketing strategies that create long-term value. 🔹 Key strengths: Marketing Strategy | Brand Building | Customer Centricity | Loyalty & CRM | Retail Transformation | Sales Leadership 🔹 Purpose: To create brands and experiences that win both hearts and market share
