About

A Marketing professional who has worked across Industries and Geographies! KEY EXPERTISE Industry Experience: Over 15 years in Business Development and Marketing across Technology, Retail and Services Industry. My experience is an intricate blend of finalizing contracts in corporate offices sipping tea in china wear and striking business deals sitting on an inverted dustbin in a busy market area, sipping cutting chai. Client Engagement: I worked for an HR company very early in my career in 2006 and when I returned to India in 2012 from Australia, my client in 2006, was my boss. I build relationships that are not dependent on the single sale value. Content: Whether it is preparing for a meeting, drafting an email communication or writing posts on social media, content is everything. My expertise lies in ensuring we communicate effectively, no matter which mode we chose to communicate in. Marketing: Every Sales person is also a marketing person, over the years I have devised multiple techniques that help with marketing within the channel set up. I use my skills in communication to help with brand awareness and promotion of solutions within and outside the community. Beyond Work: I am a published author and a trained life coach.
