Ms. Malavika Surendra Babu

I like stories a lot - reading, hearing, telling and writing them. Love the content more than the platform, so I have done all of these across roles. 

I continue to make a living out of this passion, so I am also an award-winning Senior Communications Strategist with over 10 years of professional experience. My expertise lies in public relations, internal communications, employer branding, leadership counsel, and community engagements. 

Highlights of my career: 
1. Designed the internal and external communications approach for the Gold Quill award winning campaign Converge at Walmart
2. Raised the channel engagement for Workplace by Facebook by 10x in a span of 8 months at Walmart
3. Led multiple global campaigns for both Latin America and India employees at Falabella 
4. Built, nurtured and grew relationships with different member groups (Nasscom, Zinnov) as well as built ties with local technology communities (TiE, GIDS) at Walmart 
5. Elevated leadership positioning through focused 100+ authored articles, more than 50 high-profile and relevant speakership opportunities at events (Dell Technologies, Alibaba, Walmart, Falabella)
6. Handled global rebranding exercises for Dell Technologies (from Dell) in India, Walmart Global Tech India (from Walmart Labs) 
7. Strengthened Airbnb's reputation with 100+ media stories over a span of 6 months
8. Spearheaded communication efforts on Mission Million Books, a CSR initiative by Alibaba group in India by liaising with partners, government and media 

In 2019, I was featured in the Godrej PR 30 Under 30 list for my work on brands such as Alibaba group, Airbnb and Walmart. In 2021, I was recognised by PRMoment as one of the most promising 20 Digital Content Creators in India for my work on Employee Communications and Channel Management at Walmart.
