• One of the most fulfilling chapters of my career. I joined the organisation as a sales rep, starting from absolute scratch in an industry that felt like uncharted territory. Bit by bit (and many awkward first sales calls later), I worked my way up to handling corporate accounts, and eventually moved on to managing hotel partnerships across APAC.
• Along the way, I collected more than just wins and targets—I found friends who quietly upgraded themselves to family. I attended their weddings, took impulsive trips, survived quarter-end madness with them, and basically learnt how to ‘adult’ while stepping into the next stage of life. Looking back, it wasn’t just a job; it was a whole era.

• Joined as a management trainee straight out of campus. Enjoyed (well, mostly) a challenging stint as a Territory Manager, handling key accounts in Kolkata across industries like tea and leather. Tried my best to learn Bengali, fell in love with the biryani (which I initially hated), and lived alone for the first time away from home. Learned a great deal about logistics, operations, import–export, and e-commerce. Navigated all this as the country was plagued with multiple lockdowns.
