My enthusiasm for creative industries has underscored every academic and professional pursuit. Highlights include graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology (New York) with internships at the House of Zac Posen, Rag & Bone and Launch Collective, followed by product development experience at wholesale footwear firm, Olivia Miller.

Upon returning to India in 2013, I worked for seven years at Border&Fall, a creative agency and digital publication, which I helped build from the ground up. I then ran my own agency, Lighter Collective, for another three before switching lanes to lead content for Swadesh, an artisanal luxury brand within Reliance Retail’s portfolio.

As a labour of love, I co-authored Hidden Kingdom, a children’s book written in verse, supported by a grant from National Geographic, whose readership spans twelve countries and counting. I’ve also taught a Luxury & Fashion Management at MBA-ESG, a Paris-based business school with campuses in India.

My exposure across continents and cultures shapes a unique skillset and perspective that bridges borders and subverts trends.
