enCOMPASSion Core Team

Aishwarya Kannan

Consultant; Communications and Media Strategy

Throughout her career, Aishwarya Kannan has been a generalist, but her passion for language and its clever use has always stood out. While working with various startups in multiple capacities, she found herself drawn back to the world of content and marketing. Building brands and using the power of storytelling to connect with people has become her main focus. When she’s not working, she enjoys a cup of chai, some alone time, and exploring watercolours to escape the busy world around her.

Aishwarya’s renewed sense of purpose is fueled by a passion for working with brands that are committed to making a positive change in the world. At enCOMPASSion, she offers a much needed focus on effective communications and media strategy, supporting our vision of social change in the world.
