What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my commodity and equity trading plus business-development leadership in a commodity broking and trading environment—owning client growth, disciplined execution, and (when needed) team or operations leadership.

I’m a trading and business development professional with 27+ years of progressive experience across commodity markets, jewellery manufacturing, and industrial trading. I combine direct multi-exchange trading experience (MCX, NCDEX, BSE, NSE) as an independent franchise owner with commodity exchange business development, regional sales leadership, and production management—running both an independent P&L and teams inside structured organizations.

From 2017–2020 as a Franchise Owner — Trader (Kedia Commodities), I executed trades across MCX, NCDEX, BSE, and NSE for a growing client base, building 50+ active traders and investors. I maintained full regulatory and exchange compliance across four trading platforms, advised clients on entry/exit timing and risk exposure, and grew franchise trading volumes through retention, referrals, and consistent service quality.

Beyond trading, I’ve led growth and operations: as Regional Head — North India (Harsh Poly Exim) I expanded the client base by an estimated 25%, and at SRM PrintXpress I directed end-to-end production operations while cutting material wastage by an estimated 15%. Since 2022, I’ve owned and operated three revenue-generating business verticals with full P&L accountability, leveraging a long-built client network across Delhi-NCR and beyond.
