Shruti Nambiar
I am a Communications Specialist and Digital Storyteller with 17 years of experience. I also write, produce podcasts, and create photo-based narratives. I am based in India, but my work spans global audiences, teams, and causes.
About Me
I am a self-taught communications professional with experience in corporate settings, journalism, community activism, and gender advocacy. Leveraging my multilingual abilities and multiformat expertise, I design and lead high-impact campaigns - both digital and offline - that effectively engage diverse audiences and stakeholders.
My core strength lies in adapting any subject, issue, or cause into compelling stories, dynamic social media campaigns, newer communications formats and channels, and engaging collaborative events.
My work spans collaborations with the corporate sector, NGOs, INGOs, the international development sector, and focused collectives, where I champion rights-based, culturally-informed communications and strategy.
My specialty is cross‑functional, remote, multi‑stakeholder work, crisis communications, and creating campaigns in fast‑moving political and social contexts. My work has included managing vendors, creatives, coalitions, and partner organisations.
Combining endless curiosity and a perpetually online ethic, I create powerful narratives through social media, newsletters, podcasts, events, blogs, reports, case studies, and media engagement to foster connection and community.
Shruti Sharada is my preferred name.
