I build packaging businesses through regional sales, key accounts, distribution, and market expansion.
What I'm looking for
I've built packaging business growth across India and international markets through sales, distribution, key-account management, and brand positioning. My experience spans more than 20 years across Aptar Beauty & Home, Uflex, Trendz Packaging, APU Packaging, and BeSpoke Packaging.
At Aptar Beauty & Home India, I grew from Assistant Manager Sales to Business Manager for South India. I expanded customer accounts, introduced new products, launched technical seminars and distributor events, developed new markets, and consistently exceeded sales targets.
At Uflex, I established the Flexi Tubes footprint in Southern India and brought more than 10 customers on board across Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kerala. I managed regional sales, budgets, pricing, product development, cost saving, branding, and key accounts.
As a Business Development Consultant for packaging businesses in India and Dubai, I've built South India sales and distribution networks, improved capacity utilization to 75%, recovered high-volume accounts, and supported markets across the GCC, Poland, Turkey, and Sri Lanka. I'm seeking a functional leadership role where I can empower teams, build trust, and drive growth beyond organizational goals.
