Naresh D. — Business Development Manager
I love starting up/building things from the scratch and enjoy the 0 to1 journey more than anything else because of the uncertainty/fluidity involved. Below examples substantiate why I love building/growing startups: As a Co-founder of Tectotron, scaled it to 1mn USD ARR despite being a fresher. As Demand Lead for AP/TG-Udaan, scaled Pharma distribution business to 120 cr despite no hardcore sales experience. As a mentor/consultant for Smilykiddos,heIped build a 4mn USD business in a span of 12 months and are present in 400 stores(Hamleys,Crosswords) across India,UAE,Canada. As a mentor,helped set up e-commerce operations for Chidoz(premium gourment brand),NSP masala( natural spices) and B2B distribution channel. As advisory to Mountainor, helping the brand with fund raise and charting strategies for growth Learnings: 1. Learning and unlearning is integral to the 0 to1 journey and have to be prepared for everything(growth/cost rationalization) 2.Don't wait for things to happen(biggest crime in my opinion) instead make things happen by trying/testing different ideas. 3. Having a motivated team is everything. Look for attitude while hiring as skills can be learnt on the go. If you or anyone in your network is looking for freelancer/mentorship/guidance on starting up happy to chat and share my learnings . You can reach out to me on 8639007490 or p14nareshdn@iima.ac.in.
