I am a global communications specialist with an advanced degree in communication and proven record of success in marketing and communications in diverse cultural, geographical, and corporate environments. I have worked in India and North America.

As a consultant, I have worked with corporations across the board - ADT Security, Bank of America, Grey Worldwide, Gulf Oil, HSBC Bank, L'Oréal, MoneyGram, Primus Telecom, Reliance Telecom, Thomas Cook, and Western Union, among others.

My career spans communications and marketing, and, also, specifically emerging markets communications. I have participated frequently in industry seminars at various fora of marketing and communications, notably at seminars under the auspices of MoneyGram, Marcus Evans, and International Quality and Productivity Council (IQPC).

In India, Nepal, Africa, and the USA I have led workshops for corporates and educational institutions, unequally though. Among corporates, my clients include Asian Development Bank, Aviva Insurance, British Council, Communique Marketing Solutions, Fore Solutions, Genesis Hospital, Golchha Organization (Bajaj Motors and Samsung), GreyWater Technologies, Indo-Zambia Bank, Kayako Software, Kia Motors, Lumbini Bank, Microsoft India, Pernod Ricard, Prisma Advertising, Quantum Networks, Star TV Network, Vestige Marketing, and others.

Among educational institutions, Balaji Institute of Modern Management, Pune, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, Fore Business School, New Delhi, Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon, LM Thapar School of Management, and Thapar University, Patiala, and others.

I have had the distinct privilege of working directly with a slew of federal governments - Australia, France, and Malta - while other corporate engagements have allowed me the opportunity of working with clients in Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the UK.

I lead workshops in my professional specialty – communications.

I understand my work as a workshop leader, as a guide, sounding board, challenger, and resolver. My job is to provoke a lively interest in the subject and create an ambience of participative thought

While the first part of the workshop, necessarily, is devoted to clearing basic concepts, and, so, a 'monologue', if you will, the rest is interactive, with the load falling squarely on the collective shoulders of the participants. It is not unlikely that we shift into uncharted waters if only to resolve issues that come up unanticipated!

The fundamentals of communications form the basis of every workshop; unless a group has already attended a workshop, the format is left unchanged. There is a standard handout given to participants at the end of the session. Since much of the workshop is improvised and spontaneous, I will be hard-pressed to predict the course, much less the outcome.

I consult on branding, marketing communication, product and visual design. Over the past few years my practice as a consultant has been limited to a few clients due to paucity of time.

Regardless of products/services, I find consulting a very satisfying complement to my work as a workshop leader; it allows me the possibility of exploring the entire gamut of marketing.
