Hospitality marketing. Brand stories. The written word.
I work in brand-side marketing at Gourmet Investments, with Olive Garden India and P.F. Chang’s India. My work brings together campaigns, creative, restaurant launches, influencer and PR planning, and the details that shape a guest’s experience.
I’ve led marketing at Azure Hospitality and Dolomite, and led North India marketing for SOCIAL and Smoke House Deli at Impresario India. I’ve also launched Copper Chimney in Gurgaon and helped Frozen Fun launch in Delhi.
Restaurants have given me plenty to think about: how a brand finds its voice, how it keeps that voice as it grows, and how to make people want to come back.
Beyond the day job
Writing has always been the thread running through it all. Here you’ll find food, film, books, beauty, marketing and whatever else has caught my attention. Besides that, this is my place to share my thoughts on, well, EVERYTHING.
I also write about the experiences and lessons I’ve picked up as a woman in leadership. I hope some of them are useful.
