About

Building Active Tribe — a men’s intimate hygiene brand created for those who push their limits in the gym, on the field, and in everyday life. Our products are science-backed and performance-focused, designed to solve the real hygiene challenges active men face — sweat, odor, chafing, and discomfort. The range includes an Intimate Wash, a Pre-Activity Spray, and an Anti-Chafing Cream, each crafted to fit seamlessly into an active lifestyle. For me, Active Tribe is more than a product line — it’s about normalizing the conversation around men’s hygiene, breaking taboos, and making it a core part of health and fitness culture. 💡 Mission: To empower men to feel fresh, move freely, and perform at their best, every single day. 📍 Based in India | 🌐 www.activetribe.in Before founding Active Tribe I was an International Expansion Consultant with Deel, dedicated to revolutionising the future of work by bridging the gap between exceptional talent and global opportunities. With a robust background in lead generation, relationship building, and strategic outreach, I excelled in identifying and nurturing high-potential prospects. My commitment to Deel’s vision of empowering businesses to hire globally aligns seamlessly with my passion for fostering meaningful connections and driving sustainable growth. Before Deel, I was a Senior Enterprise Sales Development Manager at Builder.ai, a platform that helps businesses create, run, and scale their apps without the knowledge of coding. I was responsible for qualifying and developing inbound & outbound sales leads, running email campaigns, driving attendance for marketing events, and scheduling demonstrations for potential customers in the APAC region. Prior to joining Builder.ai, I was a Senior Sales Development Manager at LinkedIn, where I contributed to the growth and success of the world's largest professional network. I leveraged my skills in account management, relationship building, and sales management to generate new sales prospects, support sales representatives, and improve best practices. I also functioned as an internal communicator between the sales leadership team and the rest of the organization. I hold an MBA in International Business from Tirpude Institute Of Management Education. I was also declared runner-up of the Young CEO competition and Miss Anubhuti contest. I am passionate about learning new things, speaking on various topics, and selling with verisimilitude. I aspire to be a linchpin in the fast-moving and dynamic corporate world, and to help businesses own the code for their apps.
