About Akshit Harsh

Communications and strategy professional with a foundation in business journalism and over 10 years of experience across content, business operations, and leadership roles. Currently leading organization-wide communication, stakeholder alignment, and strategic initiatives for a ₹500 Cr, pan-India business, working closely with senior leadership to drive decision-making and business transformation. My work involves translating complex financial and operational information into clear, high-impact narratives for leadership, cross-functional teams, and external stakeholders. I have also played a key role in supporting a strategic shift to a franchise-based operating model, designing communication frameworks, revenue structures, and investor-facing business models for prospective partners. Previously, I spent several years in business journalism and editorial leadership, building strong expertise in content, storytelling, and stakeholder communication across global audiences. I am now looking to transition into corporate and internal communications roles where business context, storytelling, and strategic thinking intersect.
