Rishabh Bhargava — Product Manager
Sports Geek at Heart. Commercial Sales & Strategy by job. Problem Solver by Instinct. I currently serve as a Strategy Manager (BPPC-Revenue Growth Management) at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, helping the Coca-Cola system grow sustainably with the right interplay between volumes, share & profitability by delivering the right spread, channel & pack mix. I bring over 4.5 years of experience across Sales, Strategy, and Digital Transformation in the FMCG sector. My journey began as an Area Sales Manager, where I managed key territories in Indore & Warangal across timelines over close to 20 months, gained experience of Coca-Cola’s product portfolio across categories and later transitioned into Sales Operations, scaling Coca-Cola’s in-house e-RTM platform, Coke Buddy, to 300K outlets in just 11 months in Urban & Rural markets. I’m passionate about leveraging technology to drive results in Sales & Distribution, a passion that has defined my career path. An MBA in Marketing & Strategy from NMIMS Mumbai (Top 15 B-School), I was one of the winners of Coca-Cola’s first pan-India case competition (5,800+ teams). I’ve also made it to the National Finals of ITC Interrobang, Semi-Finals of L'Oréal Brandstorm, and secured 2nd Runner-Up in Britannia’s Britcreate. Prior to my MBA, I worked with an EdTech startup (L2L International) as a Business Development Associate, leading a team of 8 and delivering consistent growth in revenue and market share across Delhi-NCR. I was recognized as STAR Performer in my first year for achieving KPIs and executing BTL strategies. Academically, I hold a B.Tech in Civil Engineering (Top 10 percentile, Indraprastha University) and have consistently earned merit certificates throughout school and college, including a top 100 rank in International Olympiad of Mathematics. At NMIMS, I contributed to social initiatives via CRY and led several student-led activities and sponsorships during undergrad. Outside of work, I express my passion for sports through my blog The Sports Writer, covering major developments and narratives in global sports. I aspire to grow as a purpose-driven business leader—curious, grounded, and committed to creating impact through innovative and people-first strategies.
