## What I'm looking for

```text
I am seeking founding GTM, Head of Sales Development, VP Sales, or Head of Sales roles at early-stage SaaS and AI companies where they can build outbound engines, enterprise sales motions, and high-performing revenue teams from zero. I prefer founder-partner environments with a clear product and commercial opportunity, and are open to Remote India.
```

## About

```text
A founding sales and GTM leader with 14 years in global SaaS, specializing in building outbound engines, enterprise sales motions, and revenue teams from zero to scale. They have personally closed approximately $1.5M in new-business ARR at Chargebee, scaled BDRs from 1 to 25, achieved 173% of plan at Veremark, and led CleverTap to 150% of its annual plan. They combine hands-on enterprise selling with global SDR leadership and AI-assisted GTM systems.

More recently, I built sales motions and GTM foundations for early-stage AI startups, working with founders and engineering teams to turn customer and market feedback into product priorities. I’ve also opened APAC sales at Kayako and built teams and revenue motions across B2B SaaS.
