“DON’T SETTLE & KEEP GOING…till the time you become the Next Best Version of Yourself.” A quote that has always found its practical manifestation in my efforts. I am someone who likes restlessness. In fact, that’s what keeps me going. What drives me is the constant quest of learning from varied domains, varied processes & varied people. During my professional stints across organisations, I have deliberately chosen projects / profiles wherein I got an opportunity to ESTABLISH business units from the scratch CHALLENGE traditional models of generating revenues &CREATE alternate revenue streams Building something or creating something new is what I am deeply passionate about and I always look forward to that. Some of the significant highlights during my professional stint are-• Pivotal in launch of 9 New Radio Stations bought by the company in phase 3 radio auctions held by I & B Ministry.• Successfully achieved operational breakeven in the 1st year of operations for all 9 newly launched stations.• Achieved 50% growth compared to last year same period for the newly created division.• Instrumental in ensuring profitability and sustained value & volume leadership for business units spread across multiple regions.• Awarded by CEO & Promotors for 21% YOY growth when market was de growing by -8%.• Awarded by CEO & Promotors for highest contribution of 31% from non-traditional revenue.I believe in establishing a culture wherein each team member values accountability, feels inspired and thus can energise people to achieve more than the ordinary. Across my career, I have engaged with diverse set of stakeholders including direct teams, cross-functional resources, decision makers, customers and partners.I am passionate about brand stories and the way consumer behaviour gets applied to deliver impeccable communication.I am a sports aficionado and have lot of affection and respect for sports personalities and sports in general.
