About

I have spent 9 years trying to understand one thing: why some enterprise client relationships compound into multi-crore partnerships while others flatline after the first contract. That curiosity built my career. It also built my instinct for knowing when a client relationship has untapped potential, when a stakeholder is not yet fully bought in, and when the relationship is ready to move from trusted vendor to genuine strategic partner. As a Strategic Account Director, I acquire, protect, and scale enterprise accounts across AdTech, SaaS, IT Services, Pharma, Media, and Travel in India and international markets. My operating model runs on Key Account Management (KAM), Go-to-Market (GTM) execution, Enterprise Sales, Account Expansion, Cross-selling, Upselling, Contract Negotiation, and Client Success structured into one commercial system that converts initial contracts into long-term Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and compounding Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). I also use AI across the full account lifecycle so the judgment work is never diluted by coordination. Track record: • Converted a high-potential enterprise relationship into ₹3.05 Cr new business within two quarters through stakeholder mapping, solution-led selling, and sharper account expansion. • Currently manage a high-value enterprise portfolio across Sun Pharma, Piramal Pharma, Accenture, South African Tourism, ICRA, and other strategic accounts across technology, pharma, media, travel, and enterprise services. • Expanded a strategic travel-sector account into a larger media-led engagement by deepening stakeholder relationships and identifying the next commercial opportunity within the account. • Unlocked ₹90L in incremental business from a complex app delivery program by improving delivery alignment, client confidence, and commercial follow-through. • Awarded the DMA Echo Asia Award for the Tata Ultra launch campaign across a challenging multi-market brief. My edge in 2026: I use AI systematically across the full account lifecycle: pre-call research, stakeholder mapping, proposal and pitch development, QBR preparation, and GTM narrative building. Most account managers spend that time on coordination. I spend it on judgment.
