About

Every conversation tells a story. Every dataset reveals an opportunity. As an Inside Sales Specialist at upGrad, I believe that successful sales go beyond achieving targets—they're about understanding aspirations, building trust, and helping professionals make informed, career-defining decisions. Every interaction offers valuable insights, and I enjoy translating those insights into meaningful outcomes for both customers and the business. With an MBA from Lovely Professional University and a strong interest in Sales, Analytics, and AI, I combine consultative selling with data-driven thinking to identify patterns, optimize processes, and support smarter business decisions. My experience with Salesforce, Power BI, Excel, and Data Mining enables me to transform complex data into actionable insights that drive performance and improve customer experiences. I am passionate about continuous learning and exploring how emerging technologies, analytics, and artificial intelligence can reshape the way businesses understand customers, make decisions, and create value. I aspire to build a career where strategy, technology, and human connection come together to solve real-world business challenges and deliver measurable impact.
