About Me

My journey has been a blend of curiosity, hard work, and real-world impact. Over the years, I’ve authored nine books on topics like marketing, entrepreneurship, and fintech — each driven by my passion to simplify complex ideas and make knowledge more accessible.

My work has taken me to some of the most respected institutions in the country. I’ve presented marketing research at conferences hosted by IIM Indore, IIFT Kolkata, IIT Delhi, IIM Nagpur, IIM Shillong, IIM Kashipur, XLRI Jamshedpur, and several others. I’ve been humbled to receive multiple Best Research Paper Awards, which continue to motivate me to contribute meaningfully to research and education.

I’m also the Founder of UnscriptedVani, a digital news and media platform I started to share unfiltered, thought-provoking content on trends, issues, and innovations shaping our world.

Marketing has always been my passion — especially in the areas of digital strategy, consumer behavior, advertising, and branding. As a Marketing Consultant, I’ve worked with brands across sectors like fintech, edtech, renewable energy, HR, travel, and even the space industry. In 2022, I launched House of Marketers, a community to help students gain real marketing skills, internships, and job opportunities.

I’ve been invited as a guest speaker, session mentor, and marketing competition judge at colleges across India. I also run training sessions for an NGO in Delhi, where I share my knowledge to empower underserved communities.

In October 2024, I was honored to receive the "Emerging Leader in Marketing Innovation, Research, Strategies, and Education" award at the Brand Icon Year of 2024 Awards in New Delhi. Later 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 regularly participate in marketing conferences and seminars across the country and share my learnings through my podcast (available on Spotify and Amazon Music). I’ve also completed certifications from institutions like the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania), IIM Ahmedabad, London Business School, and others — always striving to learn more, especially in consumer psychology and corporate branding.

You’ll often find me sharing insights on marketing, business, and consumer behavior through my blog, social media, and YouTube channel. If you're someone who loves to explore the intersection of strategy, creativity, and innovation — I’d love to connect.

Watching Time Unfold: My Personal Experience with Fevicol's Generational Sofa Story

When I first encountered Fevicol's 60th anniversary campaign, I was immediately struck by its ambitious storytelling approach. As someone who has watched countless advertisements over the years, this one-and-a-half-minute journey felt like something entirely different – a mini-documentary wrapped in commercial brilliance. The Opening Moment The campaign begins in 1959, and I'm transported to a black-and-white world that feels authentically vintage. I watch as craftsmen carefully construct what appears to be an ordinary sofa, but I can sense this isn't going to be an ordinary story. The attention to period details – the clothing, the workshop setting, the grainy film quality – immediately tells me that Fevicol and Ogilvy have invested deeply in creating an authentic experience. Following the Sofa's Journey What captivates me most is how I become emotionally invested in this piece of furniture. I find myself following this sofa as it moves through different phases of ...

What Coca-Cola’s “Share a Coke” Taught Me About Personalization in Marketing

There are few campaigns that make you pause, smile, and think — “Damn, that’s smart.” For me, Coca-Cola’s “Share a Coke” campaign was one of those moments. Let me take you back to when I first came across it. The First Time I Saw My Name on a Coke Bottle I was at a supermarket, casually browsing, and suddenly I noticed a rack of Coke bottles with people’s names on them. I looked closer — “Amit,” “Priya,” “Rahul,” and then... boom — “Anurag.” I smiled. It felt oddly personal. It wasn't just a Coke anymore — it was my Coke. And just like that, Coca-Cola had done something remarkable : they took one of the world’s most mass-produced products, and made it feel uniquely mine. That’s when it hit me — this is personalization done right . What Was the “Share a Coke” Campaign? If you haven’t heard of it, here’s the short version: Launched in Australia in 2011 , Coca-Cola replaced its iconic logo with popular first names . The idea? Encourage people to “Share a Coke” with some...

Desh Ki Chai, Desh Ka Kulhad: Why Tata Tea’s Campaign Still Stays With Me

Three years ago, in January 2022, I stumbled upon a campaign that didn’t just sell a product — it touched something deeper in me. It was Tata Tea Premium’s “Desh Ka Kulhad” campaign. Launched around Republic Day, it instantly caught my attention — not because it was flashy or celebrity-packed, but because it celebrated something that felt genuinely Indian: the humble kulhad . Today, as a marketer and storyteller, when I look back at campaigns that stayed with me, Desh Ka Kulhad always makes the cut. Here’s why. The Power of a Simple Symbol Growing up, I remember train journeys where tea would be served in small clay cups — warm, earthy, fragrant. The kulhad wasn’t just a cup. It was an experience. And Tata Tea Premium beautifully brought that memory alive for millions across the country. Instead of relying on western aesthetics or glossy studio shots, the campaign embraced what made India… India. The kulhad became a metaphor — for tradition, for sustainability, and for our shar...
