What I'm looking for

I'm interested in opportunities focused on business growth, strategic partnerships, and operations excellence.

At Makonis, I lead business development and operations strategy for the Hyderabad office. I negotiated and closed 35+ Master Service Agreements with domestic and international clients across technology and software services.

I manage and mentor a 30+ member cross-functional team, oversee sales pipeline management, and work with senior leadership on strategic planning and expansion initiatives. I also optimize internal workflows across procurement, vendor management, office administration, and logistics.

Earlier, at Infelearn, I generated revenue through B2B and B2C sales channels in Telangana and worked on partnerships with schools and institutions. At Makonis in Bengaluru, I handled new client acquisition and closed contracts in IT, non-IT, ITES, insurance, and business process outsourcing.
