I build the strategy that makes brands grow and businesses win.

The journey

I started with more hurdles than resources. I built the path anyway.

I come from a rural background where the odds were against studying at all, let alone building a career in strategy. Money was tight and support was thin. What I had was the habit of finishing what I started: I stayed at the top of my class, cleared competitive exams, and earned a place at Delhi University, one of India's top universities.

At Ramjas College I read for a BSc in Zoology and spent the rest of my time running things: the placement cell, the college union's social media, cultural events, and an animal welfare initiative I co-founded. That is where I learned to bring companies to campus, lead volunteers and keep a dozen moving parts on schedule.

In June 2025 I joined The Brand Salt as a Social Media Manager. I took on lead generation early, and by August I had become Co-Founder & Head of Operations. The agency has since grown to 30+ national and international clients, and I lead the content team and run delivery end to end.

Alongside that, I grew my own LinkedIn to 19,500+ followers from zero in nine months, entirely organic. In September 2026 I moved to Leeds for the MSc Global Strategy and Innovation Management. The goal is clear: strategy roles at global companies, backed by the operator's experience most strategists never get.

Services

Strategy, branding and marketing, done end to end.

Brand strategy & positioning

Defining what a brand stands for, who it is for and how it should sound, so every channel pulls in the same direction.

LinkedIn personal branding

Profile optimisation, content pillars and a posting rhythm that grows a founder's or leader's following organically. Client profiles have gone from 5K to 15K+ in six months.

Content strategy & execution

Planning, writing and managing content across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, with a team briefed and delivering on schedule.

Lead generation & outreach

Turning visibility into conversations: organic inbound systems and targeted outreach that bring qualified clients to the table.

Marketing operations & reporting

Campaign planning, workflow automation and monthly performance reports on growth, engagement, reach and impressions, so decisions are made on data.

Let's talk about what you're building.

Based in Leeds from September 2026. Open to part-time brand and marketing roles, up to 20 hours a week alongside the MSc, and to conversations about strategy roles after it.
