Professional Experience: |
At Score, I’m responsible for developing and implementing the projects, initiating new campaigns in the area of communications, advocacy and research. I oversee the utilization, budgeting, project tracking, fundraising and other functions as well. I am singlehandedly responsible for curating an overall communication strategy for Score’s Eyeway network, which is a national network of NGOs based across India, working towards empowering visually impaired and blind citizens of the country.
Prior to this, I have worked in Television as a Producer on special programmes. I can not only script stories and shows, but also shoot and edit videos independently. My specialisation in New Media gives me an extra edge in understanding graphics and design. I can work on industry standard graphic and design software. I have worked in both online and Television medium which gives me a strong understanding of the two varied mediums. In addition to my stint in news organisations, I also had the chance of understanding the business end of news organisations with my two different stints in exchange4media and MxM India respectively. I reported on stories on the business of news, advertising, radio, internet etc. and I also organised, executed and managed special business and media events. I got a chance to work closely with a team of professionals in organising these events and thereby got an opportunity to learn the different ends of event management.
Apart from the above, I have in the past taken up individual consulting assignments, one of which was a series of marketing videos to promote a book on Governing India by a UK based author.
