About

As the Global Partnerships Director, my mission is to expand our market reach and solidify Sprinklr's position as a leader in Unified-CXM. My approach involves crafting joint value propositions that neutralize competition, bolster revenue growth, and streamline the customer procurement process. This strategic vision has been honed through my roles at LambdaTest, where I established a partner program from the ground up, onboarding 42+ partners, and engendering a 30-fold YOY growth in partner-sourced revenue. Having worked with enterprises like Microsoft/GitHub, Pegasystems, Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro, my core competencies lie in developing strong Global GSI Partnerships, regional partnerships, leveraging technology partnerships with industry giants like Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP and driving cloud adoption. These efforts have culminated in substantial revenue contributions, evidencing my strategic planning and execution capabilities. Having recognized in the top talent pool . My experience and focus with partnerships selling enterprise grade software is three fold, 1. Sales excellence, through global exec connections and regional exec/sales interlocks based on partners' strengths. Booking significantly large partner sourced deals. 2. Build competencies through solid enablement programs through an engaged ecosystem(COEs, joint IPs, marketing, university programs etc) and finally 3. Drive delivery excellence through partners for consistent delivery experience across the ecosystem.
