About

Starting out in 2015, after 3 years in a publishing startup focused at American audience, having received 3 promotions and leading a team of 6+ writers, I gained a deep insight of what works in content and what doesn't. Later, I joined Decathlon as a Sport Leader, where I gained a footing in sports retail management, developing skills of forecasting and range selection, outside of sales. Thereafter, I picked Sports Management at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak to hone my skills as a future manager cum leader. While pursuing my diploma, I joined EssentiallySports to revisit my passion for sports writing. It was one gamechanger of a decision because this brand helped my career learnings catapult. Currently, I'm leading the editorial unit at ES and following are a few noteworthy moments I can recall from my career thus far -1. During my first job, when the Editor-in-Chief was on a month's leave and I had to step into her shoes, I saw my direct team expand in numbers and I learned what multi-tasking, weekly planning, regular guidance, and a light environment can do.2. I learned visual merchandising, stock management, and handling my P&L at Decathlon. Also, I learned how adaptability is the key and one can't be rigid in order to grow.3. My articles have been read by millions, I've personally seen those write-ups receiving 1000+ comments, 500+ shares and huge reactions in engagement.4. At EssentiallySports, I penned 1800 sports articles (NBA/Tennis/UFC) before getting my first promotion 17 months into the organisation that is at the pinnacle of sports media marketing.5. As EIC, I can not sum it up in a paragraph, but my learnings have been through the roof because my team had to cope with the ever-changing media space where attention span is reducing by the day. 6. I'm a lifetime learner and am eager to learn Digital Media to make a dent in the sporting world. I’ll do all that's needed to grow in this fast-paced world.To my employers, I'd like to say that I'm a curious, industrious soul, packed inside a good character who also happens to be largely in-and-out-and-above the box. Thanks!
