About

I hold a PGDM degree in Marketing and Sales from ITM Business School, along with a Master’s degree in Biochemistry and an executive certification in Product and Marketing Strategy from IIM Kozhikode. My academic and professional journey reflects a deep passion for strategic sales, market development, and consumer behavior. Leading community initiatives as a top leader at the Rotary Club – Millennium City allowed me to cultivate invaluable leadership skills that extend beyond the classroom. Professionally, I have acquired hands-on experience across diverse industries such as EdTech, pharmaceuticals, and retail, embracing challenging roles in business development, franchise acquisition, and direct sales. My experiences at Jaro Education, IFB Appliances, and Junction of Tyres have empowered me to drive growth, close high-value deals, and forge lasting client relationships. As I look to the future, I am dedicated to advancing my career in sales and business development with customer-centric brands that embrace data-driven decision-making, strong execution, and strategic thinking. I am passionate about crafting solutions that not only achieve targets but also create lasting value for both customers and organizations
