About

I help global engineering and simulation software companies build their India presence. India's engineering ecosystem is at an inflection point. The same institutions that were building hardware 10 years ago are now designing semiconductors. The ones designing chips today are moving into simulation, digital twins, and AI-driven engineering. This transition is happening faster than most global companies realise — and most are underserved in India because they don't understand how this market actually works. I do. 11 years across all three layers — electronics manufacturing (Aristos EMS), semiconductor EDA/TCAD field sales (Silvaco authorized reseller), and engineering simulation software (MathWorks). I've sold into DRDO labs, IITs, NITs, PSUs, defence institutions, aerospace organisations, automotive companies, deep tech startups, and enterprise tech services firms across India. Ranked #1 across all MathWorks APAC renewal representatives FY2024 — $3.8M at 103% quota. Grew CDT India territory 4x from $250K to $1M — built from zero with no inbound support. What this means for a global company entering or scaling in India — I understand how Indian engineering institutions buy. I know the procurement cycles, the decision-makers, the tender processes, and the technical evaluation frameworks. I know which customers are ready for your product and which ones aren't yet. I can build the pipeline, navigate the stakeholders, and close the deals — without needing to be taught the market. Active daily user of AI tools — LLMs and Microsoft Copilot for account intelligence, market mapping, and deal strategy.
