Who I am
About me

I'm a B2B marketer in the making — currently interning at InfoEdge (Naukri.com) in Noida. I come from a business family in Bhilwara, Rajasthan — which gave me an instinct for markets, persuasion, and people long before any classroom did.

My edge is that I think in frameworks. Whether dissecting a competitor's moat, planning events for 3000+ students, or leading a group up a mountain at 4AM — I'm always asking: what's the strategy here?

"The best marketers don't just communicate value — they understand where value comes from. That's what I'm here to learn, and eventually, to build."

My Point of View
India's B2B hiring market is not won by the platform with the most features — it's won by the platform that understands the MSME employer better than the MSME employer understands themselves. The real moat isn't the candidate database. It's the trust of the person writing the job description.
