Brand Marketer, WordPress blogger, Wordplay addict.<\/h3>\n

REST –\u00a0Reads<\/a>, Eats<\/a>, Soliloquies<\/a>, Travels<\/a>\u00a0– is his story.<\/h3>\n

After a degree in civil engineering and then an MBA, I boldly stepped off the beaten path, and refused to write a book. Instead, I sold Dishnet broadband internet in the dial up era, marketed WorldSpace satellite radio in the FM era, and then managed newspaper brands at MidDay and The Times Group in the internet era before taking a break in 2010.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in another universe, a blog was created in 2003. Despite being critically or popularly unclaimed, it not only refused to die, but kept adding categories until it covered everything from food to fiction to flawsophy!<\/p>\n

All of this managed to get me column-writing opportunities with Bangalore Mirror – start-ups, food and technology.<\/p>\n

Back in the real world, I returned to a cubicle in 2011, as\u00a0Head \u2013 Social Media at \u00a0Myntra<\/a>, looking to align business objectives & strategy with social platforms.\u00a0I also got to mentor a few interesting startups at the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator. A\u00a02 year stint at Myntra<\/a>\u00a0was followed by assignments\u00a0at Group M,<\/a>\u00a0Urban Ladder,<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Buttercups<\/a>, where I tried to get consumers to spend. I am now at\u00a0Scripbox,<\/a>\u00a0where I try to get people to save<\/del>\u00a0invest!<\/p>\n

The media page<\/a> has details on some brand experiences that I have been part of.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With all of this perspective, if you still wish to get in touch with me –<\/p>\n\n
