Hi. I’m Geetanjali.

Brand strategist, lifelong internet person, and someone who’s always paying attention—to culture, people, and the details that shape how things feel.

I grew up in Bangalore, India, in the ’90s—alongside dial-up connections and the beginnings of being online—I’ve never really switched of. Over time, that turned into a way of moving through the world: observing, documenting, and trying to make sense of culture as it unfolds. It shows up in the things I notice and return to—a beautifully designed label, a thoughtfully put-together space, or an astrology rabbit hole that feels oddly precise.

I’ve always been someone who felt sure of herself. Rebuilding my life after a personal rupture has been teaching me how to live without that certainty. It’s meant staying in moments I would’ve once rushed out of, letting things fall apart without immediately trying to fix them, and seeing patterns I can’t unsee now—especially the ones I kept calling “just how I am.” There have been days that feel slow and unclear, and others that force decisions I’m not ready to make, but most of it has been quieter than that—repetitive, unglamorous, and internal.

It’s looked like questioning choices I made on autopilot, noticing where I’ve outgrown versions of myself I once relied on, and learning how to sit with discomfort without trying to outrun it. I’ve had to pay attention in a different way—not outward, but inward—and that hasn’t always been easy or natural to me. I still feel the pull to move quickly, to decide, to get to the other side of things. But I’m learning to wait, to let clarity take its time, and to trust that not knowing isn’t something to fix.

I don’t think of it as growth as much as a kind of undoing—peeling back what doesn’t fit anymore, and slowly, sometimes reluctantly, learning what does. I’m drawn to incisive writing and personal essays—writing that isn’t afraid to reveal vulnerability and flaws—and that’s what I hope to document here.

Work

Professionally, I’m the Chief Brand Officer of a leading Indian craft brewery & hospitality company, working at the intersection of culture, product, and experience—shaping ideas into brands that feel as intentional behind the scenes as they do on the surface. At the core of how I work is a simple instinct: bringing clarity to ideas, structure to chaos, and meaning to the everyday. Since 2011, I’ve worked across agency and corporate environments, spanning B2B and B2C marketing, internal communications, and brand strategy (much of it within the worlds of food, beverage, and hospitality) building both narratives and the systems that support them.

I’m especially interested in modern Indian brands—the ones redefining how we eat, drink, gather, and express ourselves—rooted in context, but unafraid to evolve it.
