About

As a dynamic, forward-thinking executive with extensive experience spanning over 20 years in the digital domain, my career has been quite the journey, one marked by significant contributions on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and now LinkedIn's Top Voice on developing the Creator Economy. As an ex-Army officer, I bring a unique blend of strategic foresight, disciplined execution, and an ability to conquer challenging business landscapes with agility and innovative problem-solving. As I contemplate the next chapter in my career, I am keen on exploring directorial or senior leadership roles in cutting-edge tech firms where I can leverage my skill set to generate impactful and memorable business outcomes. I am particularly attracted to opportunities that align with my commitment to innovation, growth, and making a tangible difference in the digital landscape. This stems from playing a pivotal role in the ongoing technological revolution and strategic engagement with diverse content creators across North America, Latin America, Asia, and India. This global exposure has enriched my understanding of the media ecosystem and empowered me to formulate and implement best practices that take creator success to new levels on various platforms. My core competencies lie in catalysing new business ventures, building and nurturing strategic alliances, and conducting incisive business environment analysis. With a keen eye for analytical interpretation, I have successfully turned around ventures, ensuring sustainable growth and profitability. My approach is rooted in creating scalable solutions and driving operational efficiencies, evidenced by my track record of delivering 10X impact and more than 50% reduction in operating expenses. As a PRINCE2 certified project manager, complemented by academic credentials from the Indian Institute of Management and Symbiosis Institute of Management, I am adept at merging structured project management techniques with innovative business strategies. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to create the next wave of digital revolution. I am excited to see what this next career chapter holds for me.
