About

Hi, I am an IT and SaaS Account Manager who is passionate about B2B market expansion, technical implementation, and client success. I combine my technical expertise in data analytics, specifically Power BI and SQL, with a focus on delivering customized software solutions. I truly enjoy reducing onboarding friction, driving product adoption, and teaming up with cross-functional product teams to help scale high-value accounts. Currently, I work as a Product Specialist at Butterfly Innovations Pvt. Ltd. In this role, I orchestrate end-to-end product implementation for high-value higher education accounts, and I supervise a 5-person on-site team to make sure we deliver an exceptional experience. I am always looking for ways to optimize our processes, like when I championed a new feature that boosted client onboarding and retention while cutting client processing effort by 90%. I also design and deploy custom Power BI dashboards to track performance, which has slashed our manual reporting time by 50% and empowered leadership with clear insights. Additionally, I work closely with Product Managers to analyze complex client needs and integrate critical features right into our development roadmap. Looking back, some of my favorite career milestones include: - Full-Cycle Sales at Vedantu Innovations Pvt. Ltd.: I drove revenue growth through end-to-end sales execution. I learned the value of a strong pipeline by executing rigorous outbound strategies and making around 100 calls daily to engage potential clients. I also developed structured meeting agendas to really listen to client needs and turn them into actionable insights. - B2B Technical Sales at Aakaar Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd.: I managed territory sales for specialized devices and consumables, where I consistently hit monthly revenue targets of 500K INR. By strategically onboarding key B2B accounts, I was able to drive a 10% increase in our regional market share. - Building from Scratch at Devyani Food Industries Ltd.: I launched territory operations from the ground up, scaling our monthly revenue from zero to 50M INR through aggressive market penetration. To make all of this happen, I rely on a core set of skills: - Sales & Strategy: This includes Account Management, Full-Cycle Sales, Strategic Thinking, B2B Sales, and Influencer Marketing. - Operations & Leadership: I lean heavily on Cross-Functional Team Leadership, Client Retention, Problem Solving, and Project Management. - Technical Skills: I am highly proficient in SQL, Power BI, MS Excel, and CRM Systems.
