She currently advises Founders and CEOs of Silicon Valley-based start-ups with media-oriented business models on marketing, sales, and business development through her company, The D Circle.

Dimple’s business successes including developing multi-platform campaigns at NBC Universal roots from her background in television, print, music and digital media.

Prior to that, her product, project and people management talent turned around teams for the better and aided in building new services at SBC Communications (acquired by AT&T), helped launch a technology start-up in a crowded marketplace during the Silicon Valley boom, and aligned partners for the Foreign Commercial Services Department of the US Department of State in Hong Kong.

Raised by Indian entrepreneurial parents in Northern California, Dimple has spent significant time throughout New York, Europe and Asia through her travels and study abroad programs in Singapore and Spain. Her network spreads far and wide and is highly-valued. She takes pleasure in being a conduit in linking parties to achieve their goals.
