I’m an aspiring business development professional who’s focused on converting market opportunities into booked meetings and actionable insights. As a Growth and Business Development Associate at EqualCollective, I supported startup operations while working closely with the team to drive early-stage growth.

I engaged with Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) across industries to book meetings and helped EqualCollective with market research. I generated potential leads using tools like Apollo, then executed targeted email campaigns using Instantly and Smartlead.

My day-to-day work centered on lead generation, client interaction, and CRM management, with a clear execution mindset. I successfully booked 4–8 meetings/week for clients, while also supporting data-related tasks such as data scraping and data cleaning to keep outreach informed and accurate.

I bring a Computer Science foundation from my B.Tech in Computer Science, and I enjoy applying AI in business tools to improve outreach workflows. I’m adaptive, self-learning, and self-motivated—looking for an organization where my skills can serve real business needs and fuel mutual growth.
