I founded Glocal Bridge to help the industry engage meaningfully and productively with out-of-home media. Working in the OOH domain for the last 20 years, I have brought together people, ideas, and aspirations to achieve scale. I believe empathy is the key to problem-solving. Through Glocal Bridge, I remain committed to empowering people in the industry. A career driven by innovation, growth and profitability now seeks to help others by simplifying equations around culture, technology, digitisation and platform-driven practices. I was honoured to receive the Women Super Achiever Award at the 7th edition of the World Women Leadership Congress. I look forward to mentoring aspiring female entrants in the industry and raising my son to treat women with respect and dignity.

From partnering with research agencies to identifying and building potential networks, from an existing portfolio of buildings to deriving metrics that can be shared with fellow advertisers to gauge the network's efficacy, it has indeed been a long and enlightening journey.Schindler is diversifying from their core business of elevators & escalators to building networked digital communication platforms inside elevators. They are the first to foray at in-lift in India and will set the standards for DOOH. Apart from India, they are present in Germany and are entering many more markets worldwide. -
