Utwani

I am a marketing, growth, and communications leader with 10 years in tech startups across fintech, crypto, consumer, and B2B SaaS. I have founded a DTC brand, run growth from paid media to PR, built comms functions from zero, and now run Orion Media, a video studio for early-stage companies. I turn complex products into stories people remember and act on.

Aarti Utwani

I'm scrappy. I build marketing and comms from zero and own every deliverable.

I'm a founder. I built a DTC brand to sell-out collections and run Orion Media, a video studio.

I run growth across paid, earned, and owned media, and build systems that turn one shoot into ten assets.
