I never thought that my academic background in Indian culture and languages and my personal interest in self-awareness would take me to work in research and marketing for over a decade. But they did! My biggest passion is India and I spend hours on end trying to decode its multiple cultures and people. I have in fact lived, worked and read people in the country for around 20 years, building both my emic and etic points of view.My areas of expertise are relationships, sexuality, youth, social media and an understanding of people pushing trends forward. I stalk people online endlessly, which makes me a very good business developer, a liaison with experts and influencers as well as someone who can connect you and your business with real clients, users, consumers, or whatever you want to call them! At times all this makes a creep too, but a fun and honest one :)
