Recognition
Awards, panels and lecture halls.
Recognition for hospital marketing work that somebody other than me judged — and the stages and classrooms where I have talked about it.
My hospital marketing work has been recognised with CMO of the Year at the Healthcare Management Awards 2025, three awards at the e4m Health & Wellness Marketing Awards 2025, and a YouTube Gold Play Button for Gleneagles Hospitals India — the first hospital brand in India to pass a million subscribers, nine months after the channel started.
I speak at healthcare and marketing conferences in India, and I lecture at management institutes on healthcare marketing and data-driven strategy.
On stage
I am not a full-time speaker, and I do not have a keynote I take from event to event. What I have is seventeen years of running marketing inside hospitals, which means I can talk about what actually happened rather than what should theoretically work.
Conference panels, industry summits and guest lectures — usually on hospital marketing, patient acquisition, healthcare brand building, and what changes when a hospital starts treating marketing as a growth function rather than a cost line.
Awards & recognition
Judged by industry bodies, trade press and — in two cases — by an audience counter that does not care about opinions.
