About Shrey Gandhi

Brands don\'t have a content problem. They have a relevance problem.I lead digital and social mandates for some of India’s most prominent brands - helping them move from presence to preference through integrated storytelling, insight-driven creative, and full-funnel execution.My journey spans global giants like Alibaba, fast-growing Indian startups, and iconic consumer brands. From launching EVs and performance tyres to lifestyle tech and global hospitality, I’ve built a deep understanding of what makes modern brands connect and convert.A few things I\'ve done along the way:→ Drove 85% awareness growth and 17% DAU increase for UC Browser across India→ Led end-to-end influencer strategy for Microsoft Copilot\'s India launch→ Launched P.F. Chang\'s India through a full-funnel digital rollout→ Built award-winning social campaigns for MG Motor→ Drove significant user acquisition growth at WALO - a Canadian fintech companyOutside of client work, I contribute to The Tech Factor - a media platform spotlighting Canada\'s startup and tech ecosystem.Always open to conversations about senior digital and social strategy roles.
