Career highlights
I started my career in 2012 and only in the 2nd year, one of my campaigns Kurkure kook-off, won the best campaign of the year in APAC region. This award fueled me with passion and motivation to do something better in every campaign I develop.
I joined Wavemaker back in 2016 as an account manager, now working as Senior account manager leading the influencer business for the MENA region, I have always looked at my role as a business partner for my clients and work with them to seek avenues beyond traditional media to grow their business.
Guiding principles
My father led me in this field, he told me “it is a thankless job, you do it for the passion and your hunger for it”
Dream job
My mind and my interest are so much invested in tech and the way it is evolving that every year my dream job evolves with it. I know I want to do something with the food, tech and service industry. I am still finding the hybrid between all three, which is not like Zomato.
Side hustle
I have worked on multiple tech solutions, but I always dropped it in couple of months. Now I am working towards championing the tools like SEO and SEM that can help my idea develop better and it fuels up my dream job as well.
