## About

```text
I'm an independent consultant advising the fertilizer industry on business development. Previously, at M/s Indorama Eleme Fertiliser and Chemicals Limited, I led sales, marketing, and business development for a granular urea plant.

At Indorama, I launched Indorama NPK blends in the Nigerian market and established distribution channels with off-take contracts involving 6 NPK blenders and 500 Agro dealers. I also partnered with development organizations on market development programs and training initiatives.

At M/s Indian Potash Ltd., I managed fertilizer sales across several regions in India, developed markets for MOP and SOP products, and oversaw port operations and logistics. Earlier, at M/s Indo Gulf Fertilisers Ltd., I improved Shaktiman Urea's market share in core regions.
