Resume and Other Links
If you’re in a rush and can’t spare about six minutes to know me, I fully understand!
However, those same six minutes are actually a good investment if you want to save yourself from slogging through a templated cover letter, and save me from pretending I enjoy writing one. In return, you’ll get a quick sense of my PR/communications work, my experience with NASCAR sponsor activations, and how I turn complex ideas into clean, usable stories.
Not convinced? Here’s where you can grab the essentials: my resume, portfolio, and LinkedIn.

Who is this guy?
I am a communications specialist, which means I have spent four years being the person who rewrites the email before it goes out and pretends it was always that good.
I started out as a journalist in Bangalore, reporting on startups and tech; basically asking CEOs why they were losing millions, then editing their responses into something that sounded smart.
Then I freelanced: gaming, real estate, startups, energy… If it existed, I had a take.
Next came my Public Relations stint at The Practice in Bangalore, where I handled accounts for Lenovo, Amazon, Bosch, and Texas Instruments among other major corporations. The bulk of my work was written content, primarily thought leadership articles and press releases, but I also supported media outreach and coordinated interviews to keep storytelling consistent across channels.
I also worked on India’s official investment portal, Indbiz.gov.in, which was like running the world’s most stressful blog. Imagine trying to write about FDI trends while knowing one punctuation error could cause an international incident.
Somewhere in between, I worked as a copywriter for an EV battery company, managing to get people to engage with lithium-ion posts on LinkedIn.
Wanting to move from just writing stories to shaping them strategically, I came to the US for pursuing a Master’s degree in Communication at Rochester Institute of Technology. And that’s where motorsports took me over: first with the Formula SAE racing team, then an internship with the NASCAR driver Brennan Poole (building sponsor decks, pitching brands) and currently, I have just solved a core communication problem for the Baja SAE team as my capstone project.
What I bring to the table
I know how to work both sides of the media equation. As a journalist, I learned what makes a story worth reading. As a PR professional, I learned what makes it worth publishing.
From op-eds to white papers, I know how to shape ideas into something an editor will actually open. The process starts with grounding the story in data and aligning it with current industry narratives. I use sentiment analysis and media monitoring to understand how a piece will land, then build an angle that serves both the client’s objectives and the outlet’s readership. The result is content editors can run with immediately—work that informs with perspective, and doesn’t read like recycled corporate jargon. (Also, I have been using em and en dashes long before LLMs brought them to every publisher’s sh*t list.)
Motorsports/Automobiles is where my skills and passion intersect. Formula SAE taught me how to build a brand presence from the ground up, balancing technical storytelling with sponsor visibility. NASCAR taught me how to pitch partnerships and activate them under tight deadlines. And working for the RIT Baja SAE taught me, that there’s a lot more to racing than engineers!
At the table, that means you’ll get someone who can:
- Turn complexity into clarity without draining the personality out of a story.
- Build narratives that connect brand goals with audience attention spans.
- Juggle high stakes without dropping the details (yes, even the commas).
- Adapt across industries, whether it’s fintech, EV batteries, or motorsports.
I am still figuring out how to make “I write good things and talk to journalists” sound impressive on a website. This is my best attempt.
