What I'm looking for

I seek a sales leadership role in automotive retail where I can grow revenue, develop high-performing teams, and drive regional expansion within a collaborative, target-driven culture.

I am a dynamic sales professional with more than 20 years of experience in automotive retail, consistently exceeding challenging sales objectives and building high-performing teams.

I have led sales operations across luxury, ultra-luxury and mass-market brands, managing teams from small groups to 30 sales consultants and multiple team leaders, and driving regional performance for Maharashtra and Goa.

My achievements include national recognition such as National Sales Skill Champion (JLR India) and certifications from Porsche Middle East & Africa, along with extensive manufacturer training across Porsche, JLR, GM, Ford, Citroën, Kia and Tata Motors.

I am client-centric, skilled in team leadership, sales strategy, and relationship management, and I am willing to relocate immediately to contribute to growth-focused organizations.
