Our Leadership

As an enthusiastic marathoner, avid high-altitude trekker, and a proud dad, my zest for life extends to my professional journey. With a rich corporate background spanning 23 years, I served as the Chief Marketing Officer at CEAT Tyres, Valvoline Cummins and Volvo-Eicher. My expertise encompasses Sales & Distribution, Marketing, Brand & Product Management, Channel Management, and Consumer Insighting in both domestic and international markets. Now, steering SAND Network as CEO, my decision to take on this role stems from my deep passion for brands and a desire to tackle their marketing challenges head-on. I thrive on the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on brands across sectors, and my experience in crafting campaigns and reshaping brand identities continually fuels my enthusiasm and widens my smile.
