Meta

 

I’m Saurabh—a multidisciplinary creative from India, now based in San Francisco, passionate about bridging AI, ad tech, and product innovation.

As a Creative Strategist at Meta’s HQ, I lead the tech vertical, bringing bold ideas to life across Meta’s platforms. My experience spans five countries and six cities, giving me a global perspective on creativity and technology.

I thrive at the intersection of human insight and emerging tech—AI, AR, blockchain, and more—focusing on building innovative, AI-powered products that redefine how brands and people connect. I’m especially excited about how AI is enabling new kinds of product experiences and unlocking creative possibilities across social, immersive, and connected platforms.

As a Cannes Lions, Eurobest, and NYF juror, and a Google Rare Leadership Academy alum, I’m committed to creative excellence and supporting the next generation of diverse talent.

Let’s connect if you’re interested in the future of AI-powered creativity, product innovation, and tech-enabled brand experiences.
