What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a business development, administration, operations, or consultation service role with a reputed organization.

At Cidev Electronics India Pvt Ltd., I developed customer and vendor relationships and qualified vendors to help ensure the right products, pricing, quality, and quantities. As Sales and Sourcing Manager, I contacted major customers, met with them, and presented components and the company’s working approach.

At Converge Electronics Trading India Pvt Ltd., I worked in global sourcing and as a customer point of contact, taking initiatives with new customers and vendors. Earlier, in Inside Sales and Customer Support, I supported sales across India, EMEA, and APAC and helped bring new franchise distributors on board.

As a Business Support Executive, I supported the backend SCM process from order entry through payment follow-up and trained new employees on the process. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce from Mysuru University.
