"F**king creative” is how I would like to describe Gaurav.


His contribution to Salty can be felt in almost all areas of the business. From brand marketing to social media, cutting across all the formats & forms of communication, be it words, design or a motion film/video. He is one of the best creative leads who knows how to get the team to come up with concepts & ideas that not just work, but stand out from the clutter in the market.


His contribution to design, especially conceptualising packaging for gift boxes, delivered some of the best products in the market and when it comes to Salty, the evergreen bestsellers that have earned a few tens of crores for Salty.

The list goes on & on…"
