At 27 years old, I joined a global, multibillion-dollar IT firm as a director of marketing and communications, leading the GTM strategy for the company's AI business. Before this role, I led different marketing functions at global companies such as Bosch, HCLTech and Cognizant. I am also a mentor and advisory board member for different startups. Before joining corporate, I worked for 4-years as a technology journalist, and as part of the founding team of an angel-funded media startup. In this role, I authored over 3500 articles covering business and technologies for Tier-1 media outlets such as CNBC, TechInAsia, The TechPortal, Business-Standard, and ComputerWorld. Besides my professional pursuits, I am a speaker, having taken the stage at platforms such as TedX, guest lecturer and mentor at various B-schools, and running a small initiative that sponsors education for underprivileged children.
