About
I work in operations and coordination. Since 2023 I have worked in travel, hospitality, events, community and creator marketing, in roles that ranged from leading treks to onboarding properties to coordinating influencer campaigns.
Most recently I was in operations at Raahghar (Dec 2025 to Sept 2026), where I onboarded 10+ properties, wrote retreat proposals and itineraries, and built internal SOPs. Before that, at Sugar Media, I closed 10+ influencer campaigns across 500+ influencers pan-India, plus one international campaign.
I am now taking on freelance projects in operations and coordination. If something needs someone to run it, send it over, even half-formed.

How I work
How a project runs
- BriefSend it as it is. A half-formed brief is fine; I ask for what is missing.
- PlanI list the people, timelines, dependencies, vendors and deliverables, and put them in order.
- RunI coordinate and follow up so you are not chasing anyone for status.
- UpdateYou hear about problems early, while they are still small.
- Hand overI close it out. The aim is a finished project, not a list of completed tasks.
Got a project that needs someone to run it?
Send it as it is, even half-formed. I will write back with how I would run it.
