SHRESHTHA BHATTACHARYA – A creative soul in the field of Marketing and Brand building since 2004 …

Feb 2004, NIFT Mumbai Campus placements – all dressed in crisp formals awaited to be placed as a designer all for my love of art and fashion but fate had something else in mind…. All I got to hear was “A gold medalist in Economics and we will take her as a designer! what a waste” I soon realized I was seen as a package of all my skills and started concentrating on back office marketing jobs and was soon selected as the brand promoter of a High Fashion Brand and thus my journey into the world of Brand Management began…..
