brand strategy & editorial work

At India Design ID

Between November 2023 and March 2025, I was the Deputy Managing Editor at India Design ID. Here I was responsible for overseeing India Design ID’s overall execution and yearly timelines. This includes editorial planning, production, and execution across digital and print platforms, working closely with editing, marketing, sales and design teams, ensuring quality, accuracy, and timeliness of content. I also worked as Managing Editor of three print issues: India Design ID 2024, ID Mumbai 2025, India Design ID 2025.
