As VP of Corporate and Business Development my responsibilities include developing new markets, new verticals and forging strategic partnerships that further the competitive position of the company, create new revenue sources and add to the overall value of the business. I have now spent 15 years in just about every corner of convergence and digital media and I can say without hestitation that this last piece in that big jigsaw is going to be the most fun.

With my engagement at Nokeena I now spend most of time at Lattice Media mentoring entrepreneurs and advising on marketing and product strategy.
I was till recently consulting in the new media, mobile and interactive marketing space with clients in India, UAE and the US. My primary focus is to help clients incubate intrapreneurial ventures but I also advise them on new technologies and products.
This has been a busy few years but still leaves me time to mentor startups and entrepreneurs. Most recently I helped incubate C-Drive Careers, a "cult recruiting company" focused on high tech verticals and also serve on its Board. For the Kamla Bhatt Show, an online radio show focused on the Indian disapora , I get to share insights on marketing and content strategy (Kamla also happens to be my wife).
