About Rumela Chandra

Let’s get one thing straight. It’s Rumela, not Rumaal, Rumali, or any bread variant served with butter chicken. You can call me Ru. Easier, faster, and with fewer spelling errors. My origin story? A classic Bollywood arc. Grew up loving SRK, joined advertising thinking it’d be like Mad Men, and instead found myself making 200-slide decks at 2AM. Cut to 10+ years later, I’ve danced (read: cried) through brands like Google, YouTube, Titan, Flipkart, ITC, Tanishq, Manyavar, and Mohey, and survived every “just one small change” client call known to humankind. Account Management raised me. It taught me to write, pitch, negotiate, and overshare with alarming emotional range. Somewhere between chasing approvals and cracking punchlines, I fell in love, not just with the chaos, but with storytelling itself. Enter FirstClub, my current situationship. I’ve officially crossed over to the brand side (yes, the dark side, but with better snacks). Here, I’m building something that actually feeds people (not just briefs and egos). Because food and I? We’re inseparable. It’s the most loyal relationship I’ve ever had. The end goal? Retire like a boss, with stories, snacks, and maybe SRK narrating my biopic. Until then, welcome to my world. Too many protagonists, too many punchlines, and one woman still typing like her deadline was yesterday.
