From Media Management to Image Management the journey has been exciting and enthralling over the last 14 years. Having started out early in life, with selling credit cards for Standard Chartered bank to selling Chocolates with Cadburys, i ventured into communications post my exposure to the field as an PR executive at Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai. The then nacent industry was merely about media relations in all forms. I spent a few years understanding and exploring with small agencies and on the corporate side with UTV before i took a leap into what i call... real work! Perfect Relations. The consultancy where you learn it and experience it all. Having grown the business from 2 to 100 people in Mumbai and now looking after the operations across the country, my experience spans consulting on high profile corporate to crisis management to onoging team set up, managing finances and operations! But i believe the most important function i am still learning is to manage different types and kinds of people across different geographies in India. My journey is still on... that learning is what keeps me going...

Communications in all forms! Personally, i am passionate about my food. I love to cook, feed and eat. Tennis and swimming help me stay fit after all that eating :)
