About me

I’ve been living in the UK since 2019, building a life and career shaped by new experiences, opportunities, and a constant desire to grow. What started as a journey beyond familiar surroundings has become an important chapter of both personal and professional discovery.

I’m a Digital Marketing Executive with a passion for bringing together creativity, technology, and data to build meaningful digital experiences. My work spans digital strategy, performance marketing, lead generation, campaign management, and marketing automation. I’m particularly interested in how AI and emerging technologies are transforming the way businesses connect with people.

Originally from Varanasi, India, and raised in the beautiful hills of Mussoorie, I carry a blend of cultural roots and international perspectives that influence how I think, work, and see the world.

Beyond my professional life, I’m naturally curious, ambitious, and someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, exploring new ideas, and understanding different perspectives.

I believe growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, challenging conventional thinking, and never losing the curiosity to learn something new.

For me, it’s not just about building a career. It’s about creating something meaningful along the way.

Promoted at OKI Europe into integrated campaign ownership and regional delivery. Combines paid media, SEO and HubSpot automation with commercial judgement, audience research and stakeholder coordination. Uses AI tools to improve marketing workflows.

The Next Chapter: Making My Mark in London

Moving to the UK in 2019 to pursue my MBA in Digital Media Marketing at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, marked one of the most significant turning points in my life. It wasn’t simply about earning a degree; it was about stepping into an unfamiliar environment, challenging my perspectives, and discovering what I was capable of.

Professionally, ARU helped me develop a deeper understanding of how businesses operate beyond marketing alone. Studying digital marketing strategy, data-driven decision-making, finance, and management taught me to approach problems from both creative and analytical perspectives. I began to understand that effective marketing isn’t just about reaching an audience; it’s about understanding people, identifying opportunities, and creating measurable business value.

Personally, Cambridge was equally transformative. Moving thousands of miles away from home taught me independence, resilience, adaptability, and the importance of embracing unfamiliar experiences. Being surrounded by different cultures, perspectives, and ways of thinking broadened my understanding of the world and helped me become more confident in expressing my own ideas while remaining open to others.

Looking back, my time at ARU laid the foundation for the professional I am today. It gave me the confidence to pursue a career in the UK’s digital marketing industry, the curiosity to explore emerging technologies, and the ambition to keep learning and evolving.

Cambridge gave me more than an education. It gave me a new perspective on the world, a stronger sense of independence, and the confidence to build a future beyond what I had once imagined.

A note on the MBA

The MBA was where the pieces came together. Marketing sat next to finance, strategy, people and law, and I enjoyed learning how each one shapes the others.

I am grateful for those two years. They taught me to question a brief, read the numbers behind it and build a plan a business can act on, and I came away with far more skills than I went in with.

Volunteering & awards

Mar 2025 - Present

Human Appeal

Volunteer, Disaster and Humanitarian Relief

I am sponsoring an orphan through Human Appeal.

Through this sponsorship, I’m helping provide a child with education, food, safety, and stability — the foundations they need for a better future.

With millions of orphans around the world, I felt it was important not to just feel sympathy — but to take action.

Feb 2026 - Present

Mind

Volunteer, Health

Mind is a mental health charity in England and Wales. It offers advice and support to anyone experiencing a mental health problem, and campaigns for better services and an end to stigma.

I volunteer in support of its work, including Time to Talk Day, the UK’s annual day for starting open conversations about mental health.

Alongside its national campaigns, a network of local Minds runs support services in communities across England and Wales.

Mar 2017 - Apr 2017

Mamta Health Institute for Mother and Child

Volunteer, Children

MAMTA is a national NGO based in New Delhi. It began in 1990 as a small clinic for mothers and children in a Delhi slum, and now works on maternal and child health, nutrition and adolescent health.

I volunteered with the institute in 2017, working for the upliftment of underprivileged children in rural areas.

Its work combines community outreach, health services and policy advocacy, in partnership with government and local organisations.

Nov 2010 - Mar 2011

Cancer Control Society

Worked with an NGO to organize fund raising camps and awareness talks and intensive training for chosen leaders among local women as Basti Sevika, with the cooperation of doctors from IRCH/AIIMS.
