About

I am a brand, PR, and communications specialist with over 18 years of experience spanning education, non-profit, media, and healthcare. I have led PR and brand initiatives for organizations like Pearson India, Plan India, and Max Group, and I have a track record of building visibility through strategic media relations, stakeholder engagement, crisis comms, and integrated communications. I currently volunteer with Vriksh Foundation and guide change communications for ICS Foods, while also advising small ventures on brand and PR strategy.

Throughout my career, I have set up brand and communications units from scratch, relaunched brands, managed internal and external communications, and driven high-visibility media coverage across national outlets. I thrive in cross-functional environments, love crafting compelling narratives, and am passionate about education, social impact, and sustainable practices.
