What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth, in a collaborative environment where I can leverage my skills in business development and sales.

I am a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in business development and sales management, specializing in new business initiatives and market expansion. My journey has taken me through various roles in leading organizations, where I have successfully launched and managed multiple product lines, built strong customer bases, and led diverse teams to achieve significant growth.

At Fujifilm India, I spearheaded the launch of the album business in East and North East India, managing a team of over 30 individuals and establishing a robust network of more than 10,000 photographers. My previous roles at Kloneworld and Canvera further honed my skills in B2C marketing, project management, and strategic planning, allowing me to drive profitability and create shareholder value consistently.

With a strong educational background, including an MBA, I am committed to leveraging my expertise to contribute to innovative business solutions and foster growth in dynamic environments. I thrive in challenging situations and am passionate about building lasting relationships with clients and partners.
