About

With over 24 years of experience in Sales, Business Development, and Channel Management, I have built a career around driving revenue growth, expanding market presence, and building high-value partnerships across India and international markets. Currently serving as Chief Manager – Safety Riding at Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, I lead road safety strategy and partner engagement across North and East India, managing a network of channel partners, training parks, and field teams. My journey at Honda spans multiple functions — After Sales, External Affairs, and Safety Riding — with consistent performance recognition and two promotions. Earlier in my career, I managed Corporate Exports and international B2B sales for European markets including Germany and the UK at Minda Industries, where I reduced logistics costs by 20% and grew the European client base significantly. What I bring to the table: 🔹 Deep expertise in B2B sales, key account management, and partner ecosystems 🔹 Proven ability to penetrate and grow DACH, UK, and Benelux markets 🔹 Experience managing stakeholders and clients remotely across geographies 🔹 Strong commercial acumen — from pipeline building to contract negotiation and closure 🔹 Cross-cultural communication and team leadership across distributed environments I am passionate about international business and am actively exploring senior Sales and Business Development opportunities with global organisations, particularly those operating in European markets. 📩 Open to conversations — feel free to connect or message me directly.
