Career path
“Eight years ago I began my journey in the communications field at MSL Group in India, where I worked in the corporate practice handling global clients in engineering, aviation and technology verticals. My career in Dubai has given me the opportunity to work across sectors: energy, F&B, consumer, etc. Through my career one of my favourite things has always been creating a narration for my clients through the most creative and compelling integrated communication campaigns. I have had the opportunity to lead and execute the integrated communications strategy for key clients in India and in the UAE.”

Guiding principles
Through my career I have learnt three key lessons which I believe has made me a strong communication professional. They are:
1. Be a story-teller.
2. Close all loops when it comes to client servicing.
3. Take pride in your work and value your time.
