About Me

I am a creative professional who has then gone on to head agencies in India, US and now the UK. I am an award winner and a jury member at Cannes Lions, One Show, New York Fest, Clio and Art Directors Club and have a mandate to create a team of professionals who can provide creative solutions to clients; business issues. This means they must be knowledgeable enough to add value to client dialogues and that in turn means we need to be ahead of the curve on information such as what you can provide.
