About Me

My journey has been shaped by curiosity, consistent effort, and a strong focus on creating real-world impact. Over the years, I’ve authored ten books on marketing, entrepreneurship, and fintech—each aimed at simplifying complex ideas and making practical knowledge more accessible.

My research work has been presented at leading institutions across India, including IIM Indore, IIFT Kolkata, IIT Delhi, IIM Nagpur, IIM Shillong, IIM Kashipur, and XLRI Jamshedpur, among others. I’ve also been fortunate to receive multiple Best Research Paper Awards, which continue to push me to contribute meaningfully to both academia and industry.

I am the Founder & CEO of MarkHub24, where I focus on building marketing solutions, strategies, and platforms that bridge the gap between theory and execution.

Marketing has always been at the core of what I do—especially digital strategy, consumer behavior, branding, and advertising. As a Marketing Consultant, I’ve worked with brands across diverse sectors including fintech, edtech, renewable energy, HR, travel, and even the space industry. In 2022, I also launched House of Marketers, a community initiative designed to help students gain practical marketing exposure, internships, and career opportunities.

Beyond consulting, I’ve been invited as a guest speaker, mentor, and judge at various colleges and institutions across India. I also conduct training sessions for an NGO in Delhi, where I focus on using marketing education as a tool for empowerment.

In October 2024, I was honored with the “Emerging Leader in Marketing Innovation, Research, Strategies, and Education” award at the Brand Icon Year Awards in New Delhi. In December 2024, I received the “Market Researcher and Writer of the Year” award at the Talent Recognition Awards held at Science City, Kolkata.

I actively participate in marketing conferences and seminars, and I share my insights through my podcast (available on Spotify and Amazon Music), along with my blog, social media, and YouTube channel. I’ve also completed certifications from institutions such as the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania), IIM Ahmedabad, and London Business School—continuously deepening my understanding of consumer psychology and corporate branding.

If you’re interested in the intersection of strategy, creativity, and innovation in marketing, I’m always open to meaningful conversations and collaborations.
