What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote opportunities with global SaaS and technology companies where I can contribute to business growth while developing my expertise in B2B sales and customer success.

I've managed high-value sales pipelines at Zvisory, qualifying leads, tracking opportunities in CRM systems, and building relationships with NRI and HNI clients through consultative selling.

At McCann World Group, I guided 400+ prospective learners through their decision-making process and achieved 235 successful enrollments through structured follow-up, objection handling, and relationship building.

I've also co-led 10+ large-scale events at KM & Co, managed budgets exceeding ₹10 lakh, negotiated with vendors, and coordinated clients, artists, government authorities, and cross-functional teams from planning through delivery.
