At Teabox my role focused on the content creation and social media side of things. They had a practically non-existent social media strategy in operation when I joined, and I was able to set up a lot of the strategy and processes that they still currently use.
Byte Academy was one of my most impactful jobs.

I currently lead all the marketing activities in India.
