About Saitej Reddy

Back in school, I was that annoying kid who corrected everyone’s grammar (and yes, I’m still that person). While my friends were busy being cool, I was out there reading anything with words on it - cereal boxes included.Naturally, I had my heart set on the arts. So, what did I do? I chose science. Because, you know,\"Why follow your passion when you can overcomplicate life?\" Spoiler alert: I realized pretty quickly that chemical equations and I were never going to be friends. So, I made the smart choice (finally), did a U-turn, and landed back in the arts where I truly belong. Enter: my BAMMC degree, aka,\"Bachelor of Actually Making My Choices Count.\"Then came the pandemic - when time was infinite, and my patience was not. So, what did I do with all that spare time? Internships. A bunch of them. Some paid, some unpaid (yes, unpaid, because \"experience,\" right?). I dived into everything from copywriting to digital marketing, learning more than just how to brew strong coffee.Fast forward to now - copywriter by day, still correcting people by night, and loving every bit of it.

   On paper, I write.In reality, I’ve rewritten myself.Leo taught me how to think beyond lines and headlines - to build platforms, survive pitches, defend ideas, kill darlings, and still show up the next morning with something better.Somewhere between deadlines and deck nights, I became less of a “writer” and more of an all-rounder who can hold a room, shape a narrative, and see the problem behind the brief.Leo drained me in all the right ways.Now I can survive anywhere.Worked across:HDFC Bank | 7Up | Acko | JioMartPitched for:RummyCircle | Tata Croma | IIFL Finance | Seekho App | IndusInd Bank | Ashoka FoodsPitches won:Bajaj Electricals
