Deepak Tiwari is a Marketing Manager at Zee Media Corporation Limited in Noida.
Deepak was born in Kolkata but his roots are from Ranchi. He lived in different cities and did his schooling in Kendriya Vidyalayas in Punjab, Kanpur, Pune, Delhi, etc. as his father was an army officer and kept getting transferred frequently. After his schooling, his interest in coding led him to pursue computer science, but math was his weak point. Unable to cope with math, he lagged behind his friends as all of them got selected for IIT, AIEEE, etc. Due to that, he took a one-year drop as he felt dejected.
Deepak shares that he spent that one year working at a call center. Then he pursued Hotel Management from the Army Institute of Hotel Management, Bangalore. During the completion of his degree, he did a Google event job in marketing on a part-time basis. Then, he joined Hotel Fairmont, Jaipur. He didn’t enjoy working in that field at all but quitting was also not a solution for him. Afterwards, based on his internship earlier, he took a job as an Associate in the Finance department at the Marriott Hotel, Hyderabad, without thinking twice.
Deepak enrolled himself in a distance learning course in finance from Narsee Monjee Institute, Bangalore. Again after a year, he felt that finance was not his calling, so he started his new career in sales and marketing. After a lot of difficulties and struggle, he got his desired designation at DS Group in the marketing department and worked there for a year. Then he worked as a Coordinator at Crowne Plaza, Jaipur. Later, he also worked as a System Manager at Hotel Hilton, Chennai. Then, to find his footing in the digital world, he dived into the field of mass media and kept getting rewarded and promoted afterwards. In no time, he landed at Zee Media Corporation Limited as a Marketing Manager. That’s when his career got a definition and it kept moving uphill.
Recalling his childhood, Deepak says that due to living in different cities, he could not make any good friends.
Regarding his achievements, Deepak says that he achieved a target of forty crores by increasing the footfall at his hotel in Chennai, which was an achievement for him. Besides, recently, he got an award for Retention Marketing in Bangalore from WebEngage.
Speaking of his free-time activities, Deepak says he is fond of singing. Apart from this, he likes bike riding, traveling, listening to music, bar hopping, and partying with friends.
