hi! ✿

Hi, I'm Tanisha. I believe the best marketing doesn't feel like a pitch. It feels like being understood. I'm a digital strategist who scales communities through mindful communication and unapologetic authenticity.

The art of listening loudly.

My résumé will tell you I'm completing my MSc in Marketing Management in France. It will tell you I grew up in India, that I scaled a New York startup, and that I trained in coaching at the EDHEC Leadership Chair. But what it can't show you is how I got there.

I grew up in Sirsa, a small town in north India (you can think of it as near Delhi). I studied in Bangalore (India's Silicon Valley) and then spent two years building marketing flows for a New York wellness startup, all from my laptop. Now I'm in Lille, France, finishing my MSc at EDHEC. The world feels like one big family to me, and I feel at home almost everywhere I land.

My work is rooted in one belief: behind every data point is a human being. The EDHEC × Potential Life coaching certification taught me to listen the way I now write, slowly, with intent, modulating my voice to match the room. I led 30-minute reflexivity sessions with two senior executives and learned how much can be said in silence. I bring that same presence to the brands I build, whether I'm curating a Pinterest-led mood, writing a campaign that has to land across three cultures, or sitting with a research transcript at midnight.

What I actually do: brand strategy, newsletter growth, and the writing underneath both. I'm comfortable owning a launch end-to-end (research, positioning, copy, email, the GTM doc, the deck) and I love projects where I get to use my communication skills, research brain, and marketing instincts together. I prefer working in a group, sharing ideas and growing collectively. Learning doesn't only happen behind closed doors; it happens every time I share what I know and stay curious about what I don't.

I lean toward wellness, entertainment, and FMCG, because those are the categories where the storytelling has to earn the price tag.

Outside work, you can find me chanting vedic mantras, doing yoga and somatic workouts, playing guitar, reading and attending occult classes (I love jyotisha, Indian astrology), or making and sharing food. You're invited. :)

Three programs that taught me three different things about how brands, people, and stories actually work.

Luxury · 2 ECTS

Unveiling the world of luxury

HEC Paris · Summer School

Four weeks at HEC Paris (online), taught by Professor Anne Michaut (LVMH Chair, ex-Kering, ex-L'Oréal). I studied brand strategy, consumer behaviour, and the touchpoint between heritage and storytelling. I went in expecting case studies on heritage maisons. I left with a vocabulary for craft: how brands treat scarcity, how they protect a point of view, how they decide what not to say. I don't plan to build my career in luxury, but I write differently because of it.

The art of listening loudly

EDHEC × Potential Life

A certification in positive and reflexive leadership, taught between EDHEC and Potential Life. We trained in coaching frameworks (active listening, the art of questioning, emotional intelligence) and I led two 30-minute reflexivity sessions with senior executives. The deepest lesson wasn't about leading. It was about how much room you can hold for someone before you speak. I bring that same quality of attention to every brief I touch.

L'Oréal Brandstorm 2026

L'Oréal · Selected team, global challenge

Participated to compete in L'Oréal's global innovation challenge. My team and I designed Reviving the Pomander, a refillable fine-jewelry fragrance concept built on consumer research with 124 French respondents. The work itself lives in Selected Work. What I carry from Brandstorm is the speed of it: a brief, a team, a deadline, a panel, and the muscle of defending a creative choice in a room of people who could break it.
