“Born, brought up and bred in Chennai.”

That’s how I like to introduce myself. I’m a marketing enthusiast and a storyteller at heart, someone who finds inspiration in the streets, sounds, and people of this city. Whether it’s capturing the essence of a local moment or amplifying voices from across the globe, my work always circles back to people because that’s where every great story begins.

Growing up in Chennai has shaped me in ways words can only partly explain. The city didn’t just teach me how to live; it taught me what to stand for. Its blend of tradition and resilience, the humility of its people, and the pulse of its everyday life became my greatest teachers.

Over the years, I’ve learned that even when doors close, there are always windows waiting to be opened. That simple truth has guided me through every phase of my journey, reminding me that setbacks often lead to better beginnings.

And when it comes to what Chennai means to me, there’s no hesitation. Sathyam Cinemas. Do I even need to say more? The smell of popcorn, the perfectly timed show starts, and the cinematic magic that refuses to fade even after the city evolved and new names took over. To me, Sathyam isn’t just a theatre; it’s an emotion that represents everything Chennai stands for, consistency, character, and pride that never fades.

In a world that’s constantly changing, Chennai keeps me grounded. It reminds me that every story worth telling begins at home.”
