Head - Corporate Communications & Sustainability @ Air India Express
About
Hello, I am a seasoned Corporate Communications leader with over 20 years of experience in driving strategic comms initiatives. Since 2013, I've been the Head of Corporate Communications and Sustainability at Air India Express, India's fastest-growing airline with a network spanning the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and India. My role encompasses managing public relations, CSR, industry relations, events, and public affairs. Prior to this, I served as the Media Advisor to the Union Minister of State for Power and Civil Aviation in the Government of India (2011-2013), where I advised on critical communication strategies for national initiatives. I also led Corporate Communications at NTPC Limited's power projects in Eastern India (2007-2011). My communications career began as an award-winning TV journalist in 2004 with Asianet News and Malayala Manorama group. Beyond my professional endeavours, I am passionate about storytelling. I have written two feature films in Malayalam, 'Nalpathiyonnu' and 'Solomante Theneechakal,' both of which had theatrical releases. I am committed to creating and executing communication strategies that elevate brands and contribute positively to society.
