The Journey So Far

Sales

17+ Years of Selling, Building & Leading

My professional journey started in sales and has taken me from business development and prospecting to enterprise sales, sales leadership and GTM. Over 17+ years, I've worked across BFSI, SaaS, AI and technology services, selling across India, the Middle East, Africa and APAC.

I've carried multi-million-dollar targets, built and led sales teams, entered 10+ countries, built commercial functions from scratch and worked on complex enterprise deals. Today, I lead Sales & Presales across India and the GCC, while also working with founders and sales professionals outside my full-time role.

Entrepreneurship

Curiosity Has Taken Me Into Some Unusual Businesses

I've never been someone who wanted to stick to just one industry. Over the years, I've ventured into Healthcare, EV, GIS and B2B services, experimenting with different businesses, models and markets.

In healthcare, I've explored and built businesses around home physiotherapy, eldercare and caretaker development and deployment. I've also ventured into the EV franchise space and, more recently, into GIS and landscape measurement/estimating.

I've also built a B2B lead-generation business, founded and operated the business myself, and built commercial functions from zero for an early-stage fintech and a technology services company. Today, I'm also building sales advisory services for startups and sales professionals, helping founders think through GTM and helping salespeople navigate their careers, selling challenges and transitions.

For me, entrepreneurship isn't about having one big idea and sticking to it. It's about being curious enough to explore problems, markets and opportunities and having the courage to try.

Writer

I Write About Sales. Startups. Business. Life. And Sometimes, Just Random Things.

Writing started as an extension of my sales career. I mostly write about sales, enterprise selling, GTM, startups, leadership and careers, drawing from the things I've experienced over the years.

I write regularly on LinkedIn and have also started my own LinkedIn newsletter, where I get more room to explore ideas beyond a regular post.

But I don't want to put myself into a box as a “sales writer.” I want to write about industries, businesses, people, careers, society, everyday experiences, lessons from life and sometimes absolutely random stuff that crosses my mind.

Because not everything worth writing about needs to fit into a category.

“Sales is what I know. Entrepreneurship is what I explore.
Writing is how I make sense of both and everything else around me.”
