About Mittu Torka
Strategist with 16+ years of experience in India and Southeast Asia across diverse industries – Home Furnishing, Consumer Electronics, Fashion, Construction Material, FMCG, Petroleum and Telecom. I enjoy articulating and solving business challenges with marketing, product and pricing solutions, using ‘human intelligence’ and ‘technology’ to supercharge the creative power of brands.I’ve been an entrepreneur twice. First, when I had set up a B2C business model for rural farmers to sell to urbanities and second, when I founded a mental health support service. Both of these endeavours taught me humility and leadership skills, that I apply to this day. On a personal front, I am passionate about quantum physics, stand-up comedy and behavioural psychology.
