About Me

I am a business strategist with 15+ years of international experience in the fashion and luxury industry, having worked with leading brands across India, USA, and Italy. My career journey—from Design Head to Marketing Communications Lead—has given me a holistic understanding of the industry, spanning design, product development, merchandising, marketing, supply chain, and brand management.

With a Master’s in Luxury and Brand Management from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), USA, I combine creativity with business acumen to craft authentic brand stories, innovative strategies, and sustainable growth models. I am recognized for wearing multiple hats, managing diverse roles, and delivering results across markets.

I partner with fashion, lifestyle, and luxury businesses to help them build, grow, and evolve. Whether as a consultant or as part of a team, I bring expertise across following key areas:

Brand Strategy & Marketing Creating positioning strategies, integrated campaigns, and storytelling that resonate with target audiences.

Design, Product & Merchandising Developing collections, managing buying and merchandising, and aligning products with consumer insights.

Market Expansion & Consumer Insights Building go-to-market strategies, new market entry plans, and consumer-driven roadmaps.
