Bharat Bansal — Director of Engineering
Hey there, thanks for stopping by my profile! TL:DR; With 17 years of experience, my career has revolved around HR, sales, and leadership. In a nutshell, I obsess over customer-centricity, build relationships with passion, excel in sales, lead teams, and actively give back to society. The Longer Version: "Sales, huh?" she said, skeptically. It took me two hours and a fancy dinner to secure the most important deal of my life. That day, on a cloudy June evening, I realized I was part of one of the greatest professions—one that lets me interact with High-Potential and Talented Individuals. Currently leading the Growth Enterprise team at Udemy in South Asia has been an exhilarating ride! During my tenure as Sr Enterprise Account Director there before this role began, I proudly achieved our sales targets for eight consecutive quarters while building a $3.5 million annual recurring revenue business from scratch. It’s not just about numbers for me; it’s about understanding what drives our clients—CHROs and CTOs—and how we can genuinely help them succeed. Before joining Udemy, I had the privilege of working with some fantastic organizations like LinkedIn Learning and Harvard Business Publishing where I managed teams focused on enterprise solutions. One highlight was generating revenue from zero to INR 4 Crore (390%) while leading initiatives at Eruditus Executive Education—a testament to what happens when you combine teamwork with strategic thinking. Over the last 17 years, I've peddled various HR services to senior leaders, striving to convert every opportunity. If asked, my boss would describe me as a reliable team player who thrives under pressure, my clients would say I am professional in my approach and always come good on my commitments, and my wife can attest that I'm not afraid to burn the midnight oil. Outside of work life? I'm deeply committed to mental health advocacy as an ambassador because I believe everyone deserves support during tough times. Additionally, being part of Toastmasters has helped me hone my public speaking skills while connecting with others who share similar passions.
