About

I finished my BBA in 2026, but I didn’t wait till graduation to start working. During college breaks, I worked at a wholesale & fabrication business in Shivamogga .handling everything from chasing leads and writing quotations to negotiating with customers and figuring out pricing that actually kept them coming back. Some of what that taught me is how to read what a customer really wants (not just what they say), how small pricing tweaks can move margins a lot more than people expect, and how retention is mostly about not being lazy with follow-up. Numbers-wise, I helped push revenue up 16%, margins up 37%, and repeat business up 17% — not overnight, but steadily, over a duration of time by showing up and paying attention. I’ve picked up Excel and Power BI along the way and I’m working on SQL and CRM tools next. Now I’m looking for a full-time role — sales, business development, or business analytics — ideally somewhere working with international clients where I can keep learning fast. Based in Bengaluru, open to night shifts and 6-day weeks if the role’s worth it.

Work experience

Sales and business development associate at SR enterprises, May 2023 - Mar 2026 · 2 y 10 mo, Shivamogga, Karnataka, India, I started at SR Enterprise almost by accident during my first semester break, and kept returning across four separate stints through my BBA because the work genuinely pulled me in. It's a wholesale and fabrication business, so nothing about the sales process is templated every customer negotiates, every order has its quirks, and you learn fast or you lose the deal. Most of my time went into the unglamorous middle of a sale,tracking down leads through market visits, sending quotations, chasing follow-ups without being annoying about it, and closing orders that sometimes took weeks to finalise because of price haggling or delivery concerns. I got reasonably good at reading what a customer was actually anxious about underneath their objections .usually it wasn't the price itself, it was whether they could trust us on timing and quality. On the pricing side, I worked closely with the owner to build a loyalty structure for our regulars and experimented with bundling to shift stock that wasn't moving on its own. That, combined with tighter follow-up discipline, is largely what drove the margin and retention gains below. I also flagged a recurring issue with our outsourced fabrication work ,inconsistent quality, unreliable timelines.So I proposed the idea of pushing two of our own people to bring that capability in-house instead. It stuck, and it's still how the business handles custom orders. Across these stints, the business saw a 16% increase in sales revenue, a 37% improvement in profit margins, and a 17% rise in repeat business — none of it dramatic on its own, but it added up.
