About Devika Sharma

I search for human problems hidden behind business problems and help brands solve them through strategic communication. I do this by helping creative teams craft meaningful conversations for brands, often aimed towards nudging small behavioural changes in consumers.I\'m passionate about making life better for people and spend most of my free time observing or listening to them. In the last 11 years, I have been part of conversations with mothers, home makers, children, doctors, CEOs, smokers, voters and the youth across pan-bidi shops of hinterland Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai locals, drawing rooms of Delhi, campus hangouts across Bangalore and \'adda\' sessions from Calcutta and Dhaka.When I’m not actively thinking about people and brands, I’m usually reading, singing out-loud, doodling or cooking. People, art, music, culture, and food fascinate and deeply inspire me.
