Sunny began his career in communications fairly early – as a child artiste on All India Radio at the age of 6. Later, in his college days, he nurtured this passion by translating Shakespeare’s plays in Hindi and also played key roles in these plays on stage for the public. All proceeds from these public shows were donated to public service organizations in his city. The die for his future as a communications professional was thus cast in these early days. Professionally, Sunny began his career in marketing communications in the early 80s in Mumbai, India. He specializes in designing marketing strategies, advertising, public relations and events management. He has been in this business for more than 27 years and has lived and worked with diversity audiences across India, West Asia, Africa, United States & Canada.
