MRF

Leads the team and the client strategy.

Cutting through cricket-season advertising across the T20 World Cup and the IPL, where every competitor is bidding on the same audience at the same time.

Bought CPM block campaigns across the top cricket channels for full coverage rather than bidding into that auction, mixing skippable and non-skippable so the format was chosen per viewer.

Put the weight behind own-brand website sales as the measured outcome.

Fortune Foods

Leads the team and the client strategy.

Reach bought separately across YouTube, SonyLIV and Zee5 was paying repeatedly to reach the same viewers.

Unified the buy in DV360 and capped frequency across all of it, so the saving came from removing overlap rather than from cutting the plan.

Growing written premium in a crowded insurance category without paying broad-match programmatic rates for audiences that would never convert.

Built premium-intent cohorts from the brand's own first-party signals, de-duplicated before activation, and capped frequency once across every exchange instead of per exchange.

ClearTax

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

A filing brand going on air in July, after a June in which category intent had already grown 93%. Most filers had chosen their route before the campaign reached them.

Measured it two independent ways and published what went against it: a randomised holdout on YouTube, and a year-on-year read aligned to each season's own deadline, because the two filing deadlines fell in different months and calendar comparison would have flattered the result.

Pepperfry

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

Two cities where the brand had no measurable search presence, and no controlled study was going to run.

Said so, and read the result from two sources that cannot see each other — market-level branded search and the on-site funnel against a month with no CTV — rather than claiming the proof a lift study would have given.

Dhan

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

A trading app needed first trades. The install was the easy number to move and the least worth moving.

Bid on the in-app event rather than the install, moving the campaigns onto Firebase-driven in-app event optimisation, and bought YouTube mastheads on heavy trading days rather than spreading reach flat across the week.

Clovia

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

Revenue had gone flat in the markets the brand already led, and the south was barely being reached.

Split budget by how strong the brand already was in each market rather than spreading it evenly, and cut creative into each state's language instead of running one national film.

Niyo Global

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

Acquiring app users who would go on to order a forex card, rather than users who would install and stop.

Ran the funnel in sequence instead of in parallel — volume installs, then advanced targeting, then in-app event campaigns bidding on the card order itself — and re-engaged the installers who had stopped short.

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

A luggage brand wanted consideration in tier-one markets without buying the same video inventory as every competitor.

Bought Spotify video sponsored sessions through DV360 — the first slot of a listening session — rather than adding budget to video platforms the category had already saturated.

Pilgrim

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

A beauty brand with no top-of-funnel history at scale, trying to enter the consideration set in a category that shouts.

Bought every YouTube format as one consolidated DV360 buy so frequency could be capped across formats — Google Ads cannot do that, because each format is a separate campaign there — and cut the films into five languages against revenue-weighted geographies.

Imagicaa

Led the strategy and the plan, and worked with the team through execution against it.

A theme park needed the summer season to arrive as demand, not as a delivery report.

Ran OTT, CTV and two YouTube formats as one de-duplicated buy, and committed to a Google brand-lift and search-lift experiment before launch so the answer would come from a control group rather than from the campaign's own numbers.

Establishing whether a mattress campaign changed anything in two cities, where recall and branded search are the only honest early signals.

A Diwali peak plan large enough that frequency overlap between line items would quietly eat the media budget.

Ran the whole plan through DV360 as a single buy with one frequency cap applied across exchanges before bidding, and shifted weight toward non-skippable placements mid-flight as completion signals came in.

Bought connected TV only, then switched mid-flight from in-stream to a target frequency campaign, doubling exposure frequency because recall was the stated KPI.

Launching a branding campaign across YouTube and several OTT platforms at once, with no way to tell how much of the reach was the same people twice.

Tagged every publisher through Campaign Manager and separated iOS, Android and web into their own insertion orders, so post-view and post-click activity could be read per platform instead of in aggregate.

How to read this

A lift of 16,093% means the measured quantity ended roughly 162 times where it started, which happens when the starting point is near zero. Read it as a brand that was barely being searched for becoming one that was, and judge the campaign on the recall and awareness figures beside it, which start from a real base.

Khatabook
