Apr 2013 – Oct 2014 · 1 yr 6 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

• In this role as Senior Enterprise Relationship Manager, I handled some of our large India & global Strategic customers and I consulted and enabled them to achieve their hiring objectives on a global scale. I had the good fortune to work closely with some very talented, brilliant and seasoned industry veterans. Everyday was a wonderful learning experience. I enjoyed spending time with my clients, showing them some amazing data insights that enabled them make some business critical decisions.
• What I loved about my role was that I got to spend time with grass root level sourcers/recruiters as well as Exec & CXO's, wherein I got to do customized workshops and to show them the power of LinkedIn and social media in general and how it was changing the face of recruiting.

May 2011 – Mar 2013 · 1 yr 10 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

• As the first Enterprise Relationship Manager in the south of India, I took over the task of handling all our SMB, Enterprise and Strategic customers. I was the third employee of our line of business at our Bangalore office. The best part of this stint was that I felt like an entrepreneur, since I was the first Relationship Manager for the south and I had to set up things for myself. This was an extremely exciting phase wherein I was establishing the foundation of our business and very proud to say that my stint here help lay a very strong foundation for the other Relationship Managers who joined after me.
• As a Relationship Manager, wherein LinkedIn was in its infancy in India, my immediate job was to make sure all our clients adopted LinkedIn's Talent Solutions and were setting up themselves for success with this medium. This would include a lot of education and hand holding. I traveled pretty extensively to all client locations in India during this phase to ensure that all users and stake holders across levels were educated and brought up to speed on social media and LinkedIn in specific. Making LinkedIn a way of life for my clients was our vision and still continues to be!

• During this phase of my career, I moved into an Individual contributor role and handled some of our larger strategic customers. Primarily my task involved customer retention and satisfaction.

Nov 2003 – Mar 2008 · 4 yrs 4 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

• This was technically my first sales job and the one that probably laid the foundation for my sales career. I was one of the first few employees of our Bangalore branch and had the opportunity to see and learn how a business is scaled up. Naukri.com was pretty much in its infancy and this phase of my career saw me start off as a feet on street field sales person to handling a team of 4 members. I enjoyed every role that I played. I was assigned a territory within Bangalore and my task was to ensure that the entire territory is mapped and we have demonstrated and educated our prospects on our solutions. All the efforts put in initially with all the cold calls led to prospects being converted to clients.
• During this stint of mine, I also helped set up our new office space right from identifying the office space to getting everything from the wood work to electrical fittings to interiors to almost everything in the office set up. Apart from being a full time sales professional, I did this purely for the love of it and very proud of this even today!

Jul 2003 – Oct 2003 · 3 mos · Kuppam

• I passed out of PES Institute of Technology and had my first job at the medical college of the same institution which was located in Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh. My job was to ensure that we were compliant with all norms of the Medical Council of India in order to get in our first batch intake of students. My role specifically was to recruite Residents, Sr.Residents, Asst Profs, Associate Profs and Profs for teaching as well as hospital subjects. It also included certain administrative roles within the hospital and college such as payroll, overall infrastructure etc. Though this was a very short stint, I was very proud of the fact that we cleared the Medical Council of India inspection and got approval for our first batch of students. This short experience also gave me a good exposure to the medical fraternity.
• Like they say, the first job is always memorable!!
