Empathetic marketer driven by curiosity, spirituality, and a purpose to enrich lives. My career journey has been shaped by my diverse passions including human behavior, neuroscience, anthropology, psychology, creativity, research, and more. It has been fueled by curiosity and a desire to make an impact. Though I began as a chef, I was drawn to marketing once I realized its power to connect people through stories. After reading Ikigai - a must-read for finding purpose - I embraced marketing as my calling. I aim to revolutionize the field with an outsider’s perspective like Toyota’s founders applying loom-making to cars. Though torn between diverse interests, I embraced becoming a versatile "Jack of all trades,Master of some” I incorporate mindfulness through yoga, meditation, gardening, hiking, music composition, poetry, and holistic living. At culinary school, mastering arts like chocolate molding, ice sculpting, and tallow carving taught me perseverance, & time management.. My blend of empathy, analytics, and creative skills made me an asset in past marketing roles. As a counselor at BeyondSkool in 2018, empathy-driven consultations increased conversion rates by 27%. At ITC Grand Chola Hotel in 2020, guest satisfaction rose after I applied learnings about perception and hospitality. My family background in sustainability and organic gardening gave me an appreciation for mindful environmental stewardship. I received the Golden Arrow Badge from Bharat Scouts and Guides for service to humanity and was vice-captain of my school's U18 football team. In 2018, I contributed to an attempted Guinness World Record for bread varieties displayed at the Culinary Academy of India. I am currently pursuing my MBA from SP JAIN, specializing in Global Marketing Management. I am currently part of the Academic Committee and I am focusing on upskilling myself and working on personal development during this time. My eclectic certifications, from theater arts to organic farming, reflect my continuous growth mindset. I’m driven by human-centered insights uncovered through surveys, data analysis & focus groups. I invest time to understand goals on a human level before rushing to execution, to create work that enriches lives. Marketing is the convergence of everything I am fascinated by and channels my purpose. I believe in the Buddhist concept of Kaizen, continuously improving through positive change. The 16 personalities quiz identified me as an Advocate. I hope to do meaningful work that matters, by bringing more light into the world through marketing that connects.
