Profile
I am a passionate storyteller, technology enthusiast and zealous marketer. Technologies are not just scripts written in codes – they are stories of new discoveries and zeal for the new. The stories of staring the challenges in the eye and prevailing, despite odds. I look for the humane and pulsating life in the plethora of technical jargon. As you develop products and services, I dig for stories that the world is waiting to hear.
Storytelling is both art and science, the magic lies at their confluence – I am forever chasing that magic. Storytelling is also building structure and giving shape to your thoughts – the way you communicate with your teams, stakeholders and customers, reflects your persona. I am passionate about building a well planned and smoothly structured communication approach. You must be heard, and for that you must speak they way your listeners prefer. I help you bridge the gap – what you say and what your audience wants to hear must align. I also flirt with poetry and short fiction. My film “Aami” was the first of-the-children-for-the-children-by-the-children film in India, awarded best film in KFK film Festival Athens (2004). And, when I am not cooking words, you would find me in kitchen, getting high on aromas wafting from my wok!
