About

My career has been defined by my role in launch teams of fantastic global SaaS orgs setting up operations in India. And after spending a decade as an operator in Customer Success with companies like Branch and Mixpanel, I decided to take the natural next step and leverage those learnings into building a team. At Moxo, I head Customer Success globally including on-boardings, implementations and relationship management. My team is also revenue-driven and we're charged with both protecting and growing revenue across our customer base. My focus is building a world-class Customer Success org which feels like an extended team of our customers’ and in the process driving excellent NRR and Retention across regions. Apart from work, I enjoy reading, fitness, coffee and running.

  • I moved to the Customer Success team from Sales (revenue carrying role) as Mixpanel implemented a new strategy for Customer facing teams. Within this team, my role became more technical and I've been involved in consulting customers on rolling out Mixpanel to their orgs, business reviews, consulting on analytics strategies and helping improve adoption of Mixpanel. I eventually moved out of Mixpanel as the vision for this role became more technical and incorporated Implementations which wasn't the direction I wanted my career to take.

  • Innovation happens when you listen deeply to your customers. Mixpanel empowers anyone to learn how customers engage with their digital products and experiences. With user behavior knowledge in the hands of every person, it's easy to make smarter decisions on a daily basis, find opportunities for innovation, and accelerate company growth. As a founding member of the GTM team in India I've been working to establish our India presence and translating Mixpanel's fantastic global culture to our region.
  • Within the Sales org, I reported to the RVP Sales and owned revenue for the scaled book of business. I was responsible for discovery of upsell opportunities, negotiation and end to end sales cycle. I closed $150K in <6 months. This role was eventually deprecated as a part of global strategy.

Customer Success Manager

Jan 2014Jan 2015 · 1 yr · Greater Bengaluru Area

  • Customer Success is the new Marketing.
  • The Customer Success movement has changed the way companies think about acquiring, nurturing and promoting customers, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
  • Belong is a Data Sciences backboned, SaaS company in the recruitment domain. Tech forms the core of their business proposition, and they've been featured in Forbes List: 20 Startups to Watch in 2016. Being in Customer Success, which a lot of SaaS B2B companies are beginning to realise is where most revenue lies, has helped me draw relations between seemingly unrelated instances. Onboarding new customers onto the product, reducing churn, improving product adoption and delivering excellent QBRs are some of my key responsibilities.
