Shaping Narratives | Building Trust | Leading PR & Corporate Communications
About
Strategic communicator and editorial leader with 17+ years of experience driving impactful narratives across the Media, Entertainment, Sports, Retail, and Hospitality sectors. I bring a unique blend of newsroom agility, storytelling depth, and stakeholder trust to the world of brand and corporate communications. Currently heading the Consumer Bureau at Mint, I lead editorial strategy and manage coverage that shapes public conversation and influences business outcomes. My work involves close collaboration with top industry leaders, marketing heads, and corporate comms teams to deliver agenda-setting stories, manage sensitive messaging, and guide media strategy. Over the years, I've built strong relationships with policymakers, CXOs, and opinion leaders—relationships that have helped brands and institutions navigate both opportunity and crisis. Whether moderating panels at FICCI FRAMES and AVIA, or advising on executive positioning and content strategy, I operate at the intersection of influence, trust, and clarity.
