About

I've spent 8+ years building things at the intersection of culture, content, and distribution — leading campaigns for Amazon Prime Video, Jio IPL, Myntra, Meesho, and Budweiser, and overseeing 1000+ campaigns with a collective reach of 10 billion+.

In 2021, I co-founded The Big Dumb Project, an advertising agency that crossed $1M in revenue in its first year before a successful exit. Before that, I led OTT campaigns at WLDD for some of India's most-watched shows — Mirzapur, The Family Man, Paatal Lok, Criminal Justice.

At Creativefuel, I run operations, acquisitions, and strategic growth — building the systems that let creative teams move faster and smarter. I'm drawn to unconventional ideas, distribution-first thinking, and building things that last.
