About the speaker

Netra Sridhar moved from Mumbai to Leeds in 2023 to pursue a Master’s in Advertising and Marketing at the University of Leeds - a decision that became a defining chapter in both her personal and professional life. Immersing herself in a new culture and academic environment pushed her beyond her comfort zone, while practice-led modules helped shape her strategic and creative approach to marketing.

Alongside her studies, Netra worked part-time managing social media for several restaurants across Leeds, leading on content creation, strategy, filming, editing, and publishing. Before graduating in November 2024, she secured her first full-time role as a Marketing Executive at an FMCG startup in York (Sensational Ventures), where she now works as a Senior Marketing Executive.

In addition to her full-time role, Netra continues to freelance on weekends and creates fun, engaging content on her own Instagram page. Beyond career growth, the community she built at Leeds played a vital role in her journey—fostering collaboration, resilience, and a strong appreciation for diversity that continues to influence her work today.
