About

I open new markets and turn cold territory into qualified pipeline. As an SDR-II at CLEAR (formerly Cleartax), I run outbound across India and the GCC — UAE, KSA, Egypt, and Qatar — selling enterprise compliance and fintech SaaS to CFOs and Finance heads. Most reps own one patch. I work two, across regions with completely different buyer psychology, sales cycles, and regulatory contexts. What that's looked like in numbers: • 0.73M AED of GCC pipeline built from a standing start during market entry • 103% quota attainment across India large & mid-market accounts • 45% pipeline lift on our GST & e-invoicing API suite • 400+ discovery conversations with enterprise CFOs — qualifying for fit, not just activity • 50+ channel partners onboarded in 5 months I'm a discovery-first hunter. I'd rather have one sharp conversation that sets an AE up to close than ten that fill a calendar. My approach is signal-led and research-heavy — I use Salesforce, Apollo, Lusha, Clay, and Power BI to find the right accounts, build the narrative, and run multi-channel cadences across email, calls, and LinkedIn.
