About

With over 20 years of success in enterprise technology sales, I specialize in driving complex, high-value deals across India’s public sector landscape — including central/state government, PSUs, and strategic enterprises. My experience spans the full spectrum of cloud solutions (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), digital workflow platforms (ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, GRC), and ERP transformations. I’ve had the privilege of working with leading technology providers like ServiceNow, Oracle, Freshworks, and HCL, helping government institutions align with key national initiatives like Digital India, NIC, and Smart Cities. My strength lies in navigating complex tender and RFP cycles, engaging with senior bureaucrats (IAS officers, IT Directors, CXOs), and building trusted advisor relationships.
