About me

A few decades ago, in a Zoology lab, while dissecting frogs and roaches, I had an epiphany. I had to write.

My career has spanned numerous agencies, specialities and countries, I've been to Ogilvy Bangalore, FCB-Ulka Bangalore, DDB Oman and Wunderman Delhi.

After making strong beer hip, helping a credit card company reward its customers better, romanticizing single malts and launching a sporty sedan, I moved to Trivandrum to take one of the best-known tourism brands in the world. 

During my career, I have won Stark numerous accolades and honours including two Epica Shortlists, Big Bang Agency of the Year, MADDY Agency of the Year, FUCA Agency of the Year, Pepper Agency of the Year, IAA Olive Crown Awards and ABBYs.

When I am not working, I try to pen short stories and dream of riding off into the sunset on my bike.
