About

I'm an MBA graduate (University of Roehampton) making a deliberate move into B2B sales — and I bring something most freshers don't: four-plus years of high-stakes client relationship experience at 3-Michelin-star and Gordon Ramsay restaurants in London. What that means for a sales role: I've managed C-suite expectations face-to-face — including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at a private corporate event. I know how to read a room, earn trust fast, and deliver under pressure without excuses. My MBA gives me the language of business: P&L awareness, risk thinking, financial analysis. My kitchen career gave me the discipline: zero-error culture, SOP compliance, multi-stakeholder coordination. Now I'm channeling all of that into building a B2B sales career in Bengaluru — focused on SaaS, tech, or enterprise solutions where consultative selling and relationship depth matter. 📍 Based in Bengaluru | ✅ Immediately available | 🎯 Target: SDR / BDE / Inside Sales roles
