THE HUMANS
BEHIND
THE WORK

Twelve years. Six companies. Three countries. The campaigns mattered — but the people are what I carry with me. Colleagues who became best friends, elder brothers, younger brothers, and everything in between.

The Mumbai floor where it all started. These were the people who taught me what performance marketing really meant — not from a textbook, but from the desk next to mine.

GroupM gave me breadth as a marketer. But the people made the journey unforgettable. A wonderful team, a culture of genuine collaboration, and an offshore trip to Kochi that brought everyone closer in ways that no campaign ever could.

Malaysia welcomed me warmly from the very first day. I made good friends quickly and settled into the culture with ease. The friendships I built in KL are ones I still carry today.

Kuala Lumpur · 2019
The last KL chapter before Singapore. Where friendships were made that geography cannot break.
Some friendships do not need the same office, the same city, or even the same country to last. KL shaped me, and the people from this chapter are still very much a part of my life.

We built a team from 4 to 15, and somewhere between the Bali rapids, the yacht, and the late nights — we became more than colleagues. Friendships I still maintain closely to this day.
