IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven business development and sales leader with deep experience in energy, petroleum products, drilling equipment, and advanced materials. Over a 16+ year career I have expanded market presence, negotiated high-value deals, and driven revenue growth for multinational firms in South Asia and the Middle East.
At ROSATOM I lead business development for India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, developing market-entry studies, securing strategic partnerships, and identifying M&A opportunities in clean petroleum products, LNG, Li-ion technology, nuclear fuel and related technologies. Previously I held progressive sales and technical-marketing roles at Schlumberger, Baker Hughes and other firms where I captured significant market share, supported major tenders, and launched new technologies.
I bring a blend of technical (chemical engineering) background, commercial acumen, tender and bid management expertise, and cross-border sales experience. I seek to deliver measurable commercial impact while building long-term client relationships and introducing new technology-based solutions.
