About

I am a senior Sales & Marketing leader with over 22 years of experience in building, scaling, and stabilizing businesses across highly competitive markets in FMCG & Electricals. Currently, I lead multi-region operations with full P&L ownership, managing a ₹300+ Cr business, focusing on sustainable growth, channel strength, and people development rather than short-term numbers. Over the years, I have learned that markets don’t always fail—sometimes timing, structure, or leadership decisions do. My leadership philosophy is simple: before changing people, change the system; before replacing talent, develop capability. During my long tenure with V-Guard Industries, I have worked closely with distributors, retailers, and frontline teams to improve productivity, expand market reach, and build leaders at every level—many of whom now independently manage regions and teams. Core Strengths: • P&L & Revenue Growth Management • Channel Strategy & GTM Execution • Distributor & Retail Network Expansion • Sales Capability & Leadership Development • Market Expansion & Turnaround Strategy I am open to senior leadership opportunities where strategic thinking, execution excellence, and people leadership are valued together.
