About

The Power of Ownership

I bring five years of digital marketing experience, including a stretch running it as a two-person department at Champion Infratech. I own campaigns from the first line of raw contact data through to the last follow-up email. I bring this ownership to international, remote-first teams.

B2B LinkedIn Pipeline — Champion Lagoons

  • 90-day paid LinkedIn + Sales Navigator + executive webinar campaign, solo-designed and run
  • 450 personalized InMails at a 56.4% open rate, targeting Chairman/MD/CEO-level contacts
  • 34 paid leads at ₹5,882 cost-per-lead
  • C-suite webinar: 28 live attendees, 12 meeting requests
  • 62 total leads → ~$12.6M (₹120+ Cr) pipeline generated

Context: Champion Infratech integrates Crystal Lagoons® beach-lagoon technology into large-scale developments (3.5+ acre parcels), offering a 20–40% land value uplift. The goal was a qualified B2B pipeline of both technical influencers and final decision-makers across Bengaluru, Karnataka and Tier 1/2 India — on a ₹2,00,000 budget over 90 days (Feb–May 2024), designed and run solo with no separate execution team.

Three channels run as one system:

Paid Display & Document Ads34 leadsVPs/Architects · CPL ₹5,882
Sales Navigator InMail56.4% open450 sends to Chairmen/MDs/CEOs, zero ad spend
C-Suite Webinar28 attendees48 sign-ups, 12 meeting requests
Combined Pipeline62 leads₹120+ Cr (~$12.6M) opportunity pipeline

Sample creative: Display ad headline — "Differentiate Land Parcels (>3.5 Acres) Before Master Planning Begins." InMail subject — "Waterfront Real Estate Masterclass for Developers," framed as an exclusive briefing invite rather than a sales pitch.

Panel discussion on stage at the Global Real Estate and Smart Lagoon Cities Summit Event / Summit

Global Real Estate & Smart Lagoon Cities Summit 2023

  • 150+ delegates from 5 continents — CEOs, investors, developers, architects
  • Owned end-to-end event marketing: outreach, speaker relations, logistics
  • Coordinated 8 panel discussions plus 3 individual speaker calls
  • 300+ qualified prospects generated, 4 confirmed lagoon projects

Context: Champion Infratech was a platinum sponsor of the Global Real Estate & Smart Lagoon Cities Summit, held 25 November 2023 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Bengaluru. I owned event marketing and speaker/delegate coordination end-to-end alongside my manager, with no separate coordination team.

Pre-event: Collected contact data and sent personalized invitations — not a generic mailer — to target developers, investors and architects, followed up individually with each confirmed speaker, and coordinated flight bookings.

Speaker & panel coordination: Grouped confirmed speakers into the summit's 8 panel discussions plus 3 individual speaker calls, ran dedicated Zoom sessions so panelists could align before appearing on stage together, and managed day-to-day coordination through WhatsApp and Zoom.

Post-event: Sent personalized thank-you emails and shared event photos and videos individually with each speaker as a relationship-building touchpoint.

Lagoon projects are large-scale, capital-intensive developments with a ~24-month typical sales cycle — the 4 confirmed projects sit alongside the 300+ qualified pipeline built for future conversion.

Beyond this summit: I represented the brand and built industry relationships across several other events — CII Realty 2023 (Delhi), the 9th Smart City India Expo 2024 (Delhi), HOPE 2024 (Goa, 90 new industry connections), Realty+ Conclave 2024 (Bengaluru), CII Delhi 2024, a CII networking yacht cruise, and NATCON 2024 in Sydney, Australia — extending lead-generation reach beyond India.

Performance marketing dashboard illustration for the Digital Academy 360 paid lead generation campaign Performance Marketing / EdTech

DA 360 — Performance Marketing Scale-Up

  • 90-day Meta + Google performance marketing scale-up for a ₹85,000 program (PGP-DMA)
  • Blended CPL cut 50% (₹820 → ₹410) while lead volume doubled (610 → 1,220/mo)
  • Counselor connect rate up from 38% to 72%, enrollments up 6x (7 → 42/mo)
  • Campaign ROAS scaled from 1.19x to 7.14x on a fixed ₹5,00,000 monthly budget

Overview: Digital Academy 360 needed to replace high-cost, low-quality leads from broad social campaigns with a scalable, high-intent omnichannel engine across Meta Ads and Google Search/Performance Max for its flagship Post Graduate Program in Digital Marketing & Analytics (₹85,000, May–Jul 2022).

What changed: Server-side Meta Pixel/CAPI tracking and CRM webhooks got leads to counselors within 5 minutes of submission; Google Ads was restructured into tight SKAGs with dedicated landing pages (Quality Score 5→9); Meta ran a full TOFU-to-BOFU funnel — UGC-style reels, higher-intent screening forms, and urgency retargeting — backed by an automated WhatsApp/email drip.

Blended CPL₹820 → ₹41050% reduction
Monthly Leads610 → 1,2202x volume
Connect Rate38% → 72%counselor-qualified
Lead-to-Enrollment1.2% → 3.5%+192% conversion
Monthly Enrollments7 → 426x growth
ROAS1.19x → 7.14x₹35.7L revenue on ₹5L spend

Budget was split 60/40 Meta/Google (₹3L / ₹2L), with weekly sales-feedback syncs reallocating spend toward the highest-intent age bracket (21–27) and away from cold segments — treating connect rate and intent score, not raw CPL, as the real optimization target.

Illustration of an email re-engagement dashboard for the JEE Class 12 parent win-back campaign EdTech / Email

JEE Class 12 Parent Re-Engagement

  • 20,000 dormant parent leads (JEE Class 12 aspirants), cold for 30+ days
  • Two-phase subject lines — reassurance & curiosity first, urgency later
  • Open rate: 8% → 19.7% · CTR: 0.3% → 1.95% (6.5x lift in clicks)
  • 13% reactivated (2,600 leads) — the true win-back success metric

Overview: Parents of JEE Class 12 aspirants who had gone cold for 30+ days, targeted with a 20,000-lead re-engagement send starting three months before the admission cycle closed. The goal was to lift open rate and CTR through segmentation and a phased messaging strategy — not just get the numbers moving.

Subject line strategy: Phase 1 led with reassurance and curiosity to rebuild trust with a dormant audience — "Is [Student's Name] still preparing for JEE 2027?" and "We kept your spot — here's why." Phase 2 introduced urgency only once opens had picked up — "Seats for the JEE batch are closing this week" — sequencing that avoided treating a dormant parent relationship like a cold sales blast.

Open Rate8% → 19.7%1,600 → 3,940 opens
Click-Through Rate0.3% → 1.95%60 → 390 clicks
Click-to-Open Rate3.8% → 9.9%content/CTA performance
Unsubscribe Rate0.7% → 0.3%140 → 60 unsubscribes
Bounce Rate5.6% → 1.7%1,120 → 340 (post-cleanup)
Reactivation Rate— → 13%2,600 leads reactivated

List cleanup (suppressing hard bounces) protected sender reputation for future sends. Reactivation rate — not raw opens — was tracked as the true measure of a successful win-back, since an open alone doesn't confirm someone re-engaged.
