These days, I’m building CNCT Media
A creative and marketing agency I co-founded. We help bold, forward-thinking brands craft impactful campaigns and digital experiences that actually move the needle. In just over a year, we’ve grown nearly 8x by focusing on storytelling, design, and strategy that cuts through the noise.
Before starting CNCT, I spent years shaping some of India’s most influential digital platforms.
Corporate Career Highlights
Hotstar
I was a founding designer at Hotstar, where I led the product experience across mobile, web, and TV. As the platform scaled to become the first Indian app to cross 100 M downloads, I took on leadership of the Product and Graphic Design teams and played a key role in many of its major feature launches.
MX Player
I then joined MX Player, overseeing a talented 50-member team commanding Product, Graphic and Gaming spread across India and China. One of my proudest moments was helping steer the product’s evolution from a simple video player to a full-scale entertainment platform.
Yahoo!, Sony and Vodafone
Early in my career, I’ve also had the chance to work with brands like Yahoo!, Sony and Vodafone, and what’s remained constant is my love for design, storytelling, and building things from the ground up.
