“Lead with passion, purpose and empathy”

The best part of my job is
Spreading joy through beloved Indian flavours across the globe. Experiencing real consumer love—from loyalty to feedback—is rewarding! At Bikaji, a visionary culture, empowered teams and the legacy of trust makes building brands deeply fulfilling.

My leadership mantra
Lead with passion, purpose and empathy. Trust your team, create an environment where people are excited to show up and do their best work — but also expect full ownership and commitment. Most importantly, always have their back!

In an alternate timeline I would have been
Either a food and culture show host—or an IAS officer! I’m known for being fiercely committed, values-led, and always speaking up for what’s right. Friends joke I’d make a great principal... if I weren’t so obsessed with snacks and storytelling.

My top 3 productivity hacks
1. Kick off and close the day with quick team check-ins — to align, prioritise and carry forward what’s pending. 2. Keep a sharp to-do list — nothing slips through. 3. Take notes constantly — they’re gold for follow-ups!

Streaming/Reading now
Reading 'Tuesdays with Morrie' — a recent recommendation that’s full of warmth, wisdom and reflection. Watching 'Killing Eve' — a dark, stylish and intriguing show with fascinating characters and unexpected turns. It’s a fun balance between soulful and suspenseful!

A recent ad campaign I liked
Dream11’s 'Aapki Team Mein Kaun' was a total winner. Bringing together Aamir, Ranbir, Bumrah and others in a smart, humorous showdown, it brilliantly mixed celebrity banter with cricketing camaraderie. It tapped into our childhood nostalgia of team-picking with clever writing and high recall.
