What I Do

I lead integrated media planning across offline and digital, translating business objectives into channel strategy, investment direction, and execution frameworks. I work closely with creative, influencer, outdoor, and print and digital planning teams to run clear, accountable client conversations and drive consistent delivery.

🎯 Integrated Planning

Print, OOH, digital, influencer, and retail strategies unified under one strategic umbrella.

📊 Audience Insights

Deep audience planning and insight-led strategy using GWI, Comscore, and Similarweb to make smarter media choices.

🚀 Platform Leadership

Execution leadership across Meta, Google, and major ad ecosystems with proven performance rigor.

Career Arc

A career built on decisions,
not default settings.

Each move was a deliberate bet — on bigger budgets, harder categories, and more strategic altitude. Scroll to trace the progression.

01
2014 - Exemplar E-solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Getting Comfortable With Numbers

Started by trying different parts of marketing to understand what resonated. Moved into affiliate marketing where optimization habits, and performance rigor were built from the ground up. Every conversion mattered.

02
2015 — Fork Media Pvt. Ltd.

The Pull Toward the Why

Went deep into affiliate marketing end-to-end — publisher acquisition, servicing, optimisation, and building tracking systems tight enough to make delivery predictable. Over time, the pull toward upstream decisions grew stronger: not just improving what was running, but shaping where budgets should go and why.

  • Performance Optimisation
03
2019 — Crayons Communications

The First Taste of Strategy

Crayons is where planning became a craft. Built digital strategies, ran Meta and Google campaigns, set up measurement routines, and supported pitches across multi-category briefs including Air India, MP Tourism, Tamil Nadu Government, and Bakson. This was the shift from doing tasks to building decisions — with hands-on dashboard fluency in Google Ad Manager and Meta as part of everyday delivery.

Learning What High Stakes Actually Means

Moved to OMD to work on bigger budgets and sharpen thinking on scale and complexity. Handled HP and Vivo — connecting planning, buying, and reporting into one coherent performance framework at high-stakes budget levels.
