SafeDrive

When a crash happens, the first intelligent response should begin immediately.

We combined electronics, software, IoT and cloud technology to detect accidents, send alerts and connect motorists with emergency care. I led business development, sales and marketing—taking a safety idea from product proposition to national media.

Unventured

Travel should bring you closer to a place—not simply move you through it.

We created offbeat, real-world experiences across India, Bhutan and South East Asia, with safety, local connection and a softer footprint at the centre. The ambition was simple: replace tourism at a distance with travel that participates.
