Equally at home in India and New Zealand, she is passionately committed to helping New Zealand businesses add India to their Boardroom plans!

Raga has extensive experience in integrated marketing: strategy development and planning, brand communications, interactive media, direct marketing, events and promotions, and public relations.

Her senior management experience within India included Vice President and Branch Manager of Lintas:Direct (now Lowe Lintas) Mumbai (ppt download), which she retained until moving to New Zealand in 2001.

Her New Zealand experience includes working in various senior management roles across marketing, advertising, and not-for-profit sectors.

Her creative, innovative, and out-of-box thinking continues to influence many businesses (including Hong Kong, Singapore, China) grow successful brands and products.

When Raga is not working, she’s actively involved with her family, including her twin children.
