As the internet generation, we spend most of our lives in the digital world but sometimes a status, a caption, a message isn't as fulfilling as a surprise in the real world.

      Having scaled from Zero to One, my next leg of the journey with Haptik was officially leading the entire marketing for the brand. As Marketing Lead, I was responsible for largely focusing on brand building and fueling product growth while managing the marketing team run day-to-day work; and helping the product team with retention and re-engagement strategies.

As Marketing Lead, I was responsible for largely focusing on brand building and fueling product growth while managing the marketing team run day-to-day work; and helping the product team with retention and re-engagement strategies. The three most engaging and promising campaigns I was behind at this time were: - The Baap Bot: A Father's Day Bot we built, that conversed like a stereotypical Indian Dad - The Bakra Bot: An April Fool's Day prank bot, which saw the most ever organic downloads for the product since the beginning of time - Leading The Haptik 5.0 Launch - Which was the brands first 360 marketing campaign involving not just Digital but also Outdoor, TV & Print (which was a first for the brand) I moved on from Haptik as it's oldest employee (at that point) and my entire journey was us moving from a small team of ambitious folks in a tiny office to a successful chat-bot company disrupting the AI space.
