Branded By You

[On Hiatus, will be back soon]
Aarav Verma is 32, a soft-spoken marketing professor with a quiet charm that sneaks up on you.
At 6 feet tall with a sharp gaze behind his glasses, Aarav lives a life driven by discipline, stability, and purpose. When he's not teaching at Delhi University, he freelances as a marketing consultant-every rupee going towards paying off family loans and securing a better future for his parents.
Love? He doesn't have time for it.
Aarav believes marriage is something he'll think about later-maybe in two or three years, and most likely through his parents. No distractions, no complications, just a life that makes sense.

Misha Kapoor is 25, the fiercely independent CEO of a rising fashion brand, with ambition stitched into every thread of her identity.
She walks into boardrooms in her signature stylish formals, always five steps ahead of the industry and ten steps ahead of anyone who doubts her. She's confident, bold, and unapologetically herself. But beneath the business brilliance is a young woman who still believes in love-the kind that finds you in the unlikeliest places and refuses to let go.
She's not looking for a relationship right now-but she's never stopped believing in the idea of something real.

When their paths collide-through a consulting deal neither of them fully wants-the lines blur.
He's methodical.
She's impulsive.
He avoids mess.
She thrives in it.
And neither of them expects the tension brewing beneath their arguments, the glances they can't ignore, or the connection they weren't ready for.
