My career has been shaped by working at the intersection of journalism, brand building, and enterprise-scale marketing in BFSI and FinTech — environments where credibility, regulation, and long-term value creation matter as much as growth itself.

I’ve had the opportunity to build marketing functions and growth ecosystems from the ground up, including serving as the first Chief Marketing Officer at Bajaj Broking, a 100% subsidiary of Bajaj Finance Ltd. The mandate was clear: create a modern, digital-first marketing foundation that could scale responsibly across brand, content, PR, MarTech, data, and performance.

Earlier, I was part of Angel One’s transformation from a traditional stockbroking house to a FinTech-first platform — including the rebranding of Angel Broking to Angel One and driving retail participation during the company’s IPO phase in the middle of COVID. That phase reinforced a simple truth: in moments of uncertainty, clarity and trust outperform noise and speed.

Across roles, my work has focused on building regulation-aware growth systems — where organic discovery, brand stewardship, and disciplined execution work together, not in silos. I believe the future of BFSI growth lies less in short-term acquisition and more in compounding trust through education, narrative, and consistent delivery.

Today, I work closely with CEOs and leadership teams on long-term growth strategy, marketing transformation, and building ecosystems designed to endure market cycles, regulatory shifts, and changing customer expectations.

My work has been recognized by industry bodies such as Nasscom, AdGully, and the World Marketing Congress, and I continue to engage with the ecosystem through guest lectures at institutions including the IIMs and by serving on juries for marketing and content awards.

I’m interested in shaping the next chapter of financial services marketing in India — one where growth is earned, trust is institutionalized, and brands are built to last.
