Hi, I’m Priyanka, founder of Elephant Head Communications.

I partner with company founders and early company leadership, serving as an advisor and counselor on developing their brand, voice, foundational messaging and overall corporate and investor communication strategies.

EHC is the right partner when your company is navigating stages of growth, whether emerging from stealth, preparing for an IPO, securing funding, or managing complex business milestones.

For early-stage companies that aren’t yet ready for a full-time head of communications or investor relations, I'm a thought partner that scales with your needs. I also work alongside in-house teams that require experienced leadership and expanded coverage. 

With a fractional model, I offer hands-on strategic guidance without the overhead of a full-time hire. When additional expertise is needed, from capital markets advisory to  technical web development, or other specialized areas, I bring in vetted senior consultants to ensure seamless execution.

My approach is outcome-driven and scalable, aligning communications with business objectives to help companies raise capital, secure partnerships, attract talent, and build market credibility.
