About Me

I have been working in communication and content strategy for 7 years. I was the Head of Content at India's largest food media platform, EatTreat serving content to 30M+ people every month for 3 years. As a serial startup-er, I have a knack for constructing successful content properties.

Over the last year, I have completed academic workshops and professional projects in Content Design, building robust skills in design frameworks – like journey maps, service blueprints, brainstorming – that help bring clarity to complex challenges in human behaviours, relationships, data and processes.

In my work context, I have been collaborating and communicating with different product and tech stakeholders to test and validate content components and convey user-friendly messages through digital interfaces. Conducting and synthesising research to build narratives are aspects I enjoy the most.

My indiscriminate hustle to learn and unlearn has led me to Europe, where I explore Content through the lens of design and empathy.
