With 13 years of experience in enterprise sales and strategy, I have developed a strong track record in Payments, PnL Management, Growth, Partnerships & Alliances, New Product Development & Launch, and Business Consulting. My experience spans working with clients across Australia, New Zealand, and Dubai, which has provided me with a unique perspective on diverse markets. I led the development of a new Auto Finance B2C business, building the strategy from the ground up. Additionally, I crafted an expansion plan to scale the business to 50+ cities, with a target of a 750 Cr GMV monthly run rate by next year. I also led the creation and launch of three innovative B2C products—vehicle buyback, lower EMI, and 10-year loans—through strategic partnerships with an OEM and two banks, achieving zero-cost customer acquisition for the Used Car business. This initiative earned me the “CEO Award” within my first six months. On the enterprise sales front, I have ideated, sold, and managed high-value B2B solutions, including platform, digital marketing, and CRM solutions, to key partners such as banks and OEMs, driving significant revenue and long-term partnerships.
