Who I Am

I'm a second-year Economics Honours student at Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University, drawn to the intersection of economics, culture, and creative communication.

My interests span marketing strategy, brand building, and consumer psychology. I love understanding why people respond to certain messages and how brands earn their place in culture, not just on shelves.

What I enjoy doing:

  • Deconstructing campaigns to understand what makes them culturally sticky
  • Building hypothetical campaign ideas rooted in real cultural observations
  • Creating digital content across brand and consulting contexts
  • Writing about marketing, culture, and brand storytelling
