Enjoyed Accelerating the growth with some of the niche brands and industry leaders in India. Just when we started working on acceleration came the pandemic of the century which at the moment seems reluctant to abate and only adds to the challenge and it would not be wrong to add, manifold. But the learnings , interactions and connections made during those tough times lasts forever and this is the time that separates the good from the best. Enjoyed every moment of those tough times and as a team we were motivated to work our way to the TOP.

The opportunity of heading a branch with fledgling sales and turning it into India's largest branch was a truly fulfilling experience. To build and lead a large winner team from the front and show the way has been a memorable journey. Developing and managing a channel and ensuring they prosper, adding up Key large accounts and retaining them year after year, training, motivating and building a capable team to take the region to new heights never experienced before was intoxicating. Showing a new way of selling by ensuring win win for partners and for the company and ensuring zero bad debts in a region notorious for bad debts was definitely challenging and an achievement worth experiencing and made the time invested in North India Region all worth it.
