What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Business Development, Sales or Marketing role to drive revenue growth.

In my current Qualified Recruiter role, I manage direct B2B client engagement from understanding requirements through closure and follow-up. I generate leads using LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Apollo.io, and Crunchbase.

I conduct cold outreach and qualify leads to match prospects with client needs. I also coordinate meetings, follow-ups, and feedback to move deals toward closure.

At Advent Global Solution, I managed engagement from requirement gathering to offer rollout for IT, Sales, and Support roles. I sourced and screened 100+ profiles weekly and improved time-to-fill by optimizing sourcing channels and follow-up processes.

At Alphasure Accountant Pvt. Ltd., I supported Zoho People implementation, workflow setup, and process automation. I prepared MIS reports using Zoho and Excel, and I organized promotion and participant outreach for the inter-college event Gnosis 2.0.
