What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior leadership role (AGM/DGM/GM/VP/NSM/RSM) to drive revenue growth and market leadership, scaling teams and delivering CRM-led sales transformation across key accounts and tenders.

I’m a results-driven Sales & Business Development leader with 27+ years across the elevator and capital goods space. I build and scale high-performance sales teams, own strategic key accounts PAN India, and consistently deliver multi-crore revenue targets.

My impact shows up in landmark wins: I secured a ₹50 Cr, 198-unit PAN India deal with B.G. Shirke at Schindler India, and I grew Johnson Lifts Pune 8.5× from 35 to 300 units as a founder team member. At KONE Elevators, I managed 900+ unit delivery for marquee clients and supported modernisation and service growth through pricing and contract execution.

I’m equally strong in commercial execution—P&L oversight, tendering (government and private), contract renegotiations, collections, and dispute/bad-debt resolution. I’ve also driven sales operations with CRM-led transformation, deploying Salesforce end-to-end at Escon Elevators to improve lead conversion visibility and sales cycle efficiency.

I bring a continuous-improvement mindset as well—certified as an Internal Quality Auditor and having led an ISO certification drive at Presstech India. I’m recognized as a Star Performer / Top Achiever, including six consecutive awards at KONE, and I now want to lead at senior levels to drive market leadership.
