I joined Google in 2008 when digital marketing was at a nascent stage and saw it grow up close. In my 12 years with Google, I worked across operations, automation, product solutions and marketing. I managed multi-million dollar budgets across brands and verticals in the US, UK & India and evolved with the growth of digital marketing itself. Alongside, I earned digital marketing degrees from NIIT & Wharton while consulting with large brands, startups and nonprofits which helped me build deep expertise across various digital tools, assets, and best practices. Outside of work I’m a yoga enthusiast, an avid reader with a keen interest in equity trading. I’ve recently turned founder with Digital For Nonprofits which works towards digitizing nonprofits to bridge the social divide digitally. My other venture, Digicated, is a premier advisory firm that works with startups and digital-first brands to drive impact through digital marketing maturity. In my free time I’m either reading or talking about books i.e. in case I’m not practicing yoga or trying to figure out equity trading.
