About

Hello there! I’m Akash Sahoo, a passionate and purpose-driven MBA graduate from XIMB, currently working as a Business Development Associate at SuperProcure. With a flair for Marketing, Operations, and Strategy, I bring a unique blend of grassroots understanding and boardroom thinking. During my summer internship at Startup Odisha under the MSME Department, Govt. of Odisha, I evaluated over 900+ startups, analyzed crores worth of grants and developed impactful pitch decks to help ventures scale with clarity and confidence. During my MBA, I gained hands-on exposure to strategy execution, event leadership, and stakeholder engagement, shaped by live projects, industry certifications, and my role as Head of Logistics in the XIM Alumni Committee. With certifications in Product Management (Phoenix Global), Business Intelligence & Data Analytics (HMC), and Lean Six Sigma (KPMG), I bring a data-driven approach to problem-solving, translating insights into impactful actions. I'm always eager to connect with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas, and discover exciting new opportunities. Let’s connect and see where our paths align!
