About

I’m Mahendrakumar with 6 years of experience leading B2B and B2C sales, marketing, and strategic initiatives across industry leaders such as Capgemini, Tata Motors, and Saint-Gobain. As GTM & Offer Lead for the insurance sector, I strategize innovation and drive global go-to-market initiatives targeting insurers worldwide. I lead Capgemini’s Gen AI portfolio for insurance, shaping GTM strategy, solution development, and innovation across geographies. I also lead Life Insurance Portfolio Strategy, crafting market-relevant offerings and supporting strategic client engagements with deep domain expertise. Collaborating with cross-functional teams on client RFPs, I bring Gen AI and insurance insights to grow existing business and develop compelling proactive proposals to win new logos. I’ve strengthened Capgemini’s market positioning through analyst engagements, industry events, and thought leadership campaigns, while championing ecosystem GTM strategies with global partners. As an Emerging Markets Manager at TATA Motors, I drove sales growth and expanded brand penetration in rural Tamil Nadu. Spearheaded omnichannel marketing strategies, executing multiple Above the Line (ATL) and Below the Line (BTL) activations for my region. Led dealer network expansion and manpower management, reducing attrition and enhancing workforce quality across the state. Additionally, took on key strategic responsibilities, including leading Tata Motors’ accessories business for Tamil Nadu, driving sales and market share growth.
