@sushantosanyal
Business Development Director building global neurotechnology partnerships and commercialization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Development Director with 30+ years of commercial leadership across pharmaceuticals, medical devices, FMCG, OTC healthcare, and HealthTech, now driving global commercial strategy for neurotechnology and neuromodulation solutions. I’ve built businesses from the ground up—launching three companies—and I’ve owned P&L for multi-year business units while delivering measurable growth, including ₹3.65 Cr in first-year sales for a brand launch.
Today, I lead business development for U: The Mind Company across India, South Asia, APAC, Southeast Asia, MEA, the US, and Europe—structuring strategic partnerships, driving B2B adoption with neurologists and healthcare institutions, and shaping market-entry strategy for an emerging neurotechnology category. I’ve also developed credibility and demand-generation through thought leadership, including my “Your Mind is Infinite” podcast, and I’ve brought alliance momentum by structuring a neuro-rehabilitation partnership with RxGames for go-to-market execution.
