I am a serial entrepreneur and my last venture was a digital media agency. I founded the agency as Social Wavelength in 2009, which then got acquired by WPP in 2014 and was rebranded as Mirum. Mirum is today one of India’s largest integrated digital media agencies. I ran Mirum as CEO of the organisation till December 23, before stepping down from my operational role.

For the past two years, I have been a member of the advisory / fiduciary board of various companies. I have also been a part of numerous committees including risk management, NRC and CSR committees. My areas of expertise include

I have also been an angel investor and mentored some new business, which include

In addition, I am very active in the social sector. I am a partner with Social Venture Partners (SVP) that provides capital and management support in scaling up NGOs.  I am also an advisor with ILSS- Koita Centre for Digital Transformation that aims to help the social sector leverage digital technologies to increase the impact of the social sector.
