About Virrindra V Argekar
With over 18 years of experience spanning B2C, B2B, and B2G sectors, I bring a cross-continental perspective to marketing, growth, and innovation. My journey has spanned global organisations, scale-ups, and entrepreneurial ventures—building trusted brands, unlocking business growth, and delivering measurable impact across emerging and mature markets.At VFS Global, I lead global marketing and branding across 100+ countries—developing go-to-market strategies for visa, consular, eVisa, concierge, and AI-powered services. I’ve helped reposition the organisation as a future-ready, digital-first brand, while driving business transformation through performance marketing, storytelling, and full-funnel campaign orchestration.From shaping GenAI and innovation narratives to launching new verticals and leading ESG-led storytelling, I’ve built integrated brand and demand engines that support scale, trust, and growth across diverse global markets.Previously, I’ve held leadership roles in FinTech (Upstox), EdTech (Prodigy), and co-founded a global video-tech platform. I’ve also consulted for top-tier brands in BFSI, pharma, and travel—from Angel Broking and Johnson’s to SOTC and more.What drives me: Transforming marketing into a business growth engine, amplifying stories that matter, and building teams that thrive.
