About

An alumnus of IIT-BHU (Electronics Engineering), Banaras, and IIM-Ahmedabad, I bring 3 decades of experience including over 25 years in large organizations such as Unilever, Infosys, and Wipro. Throughout my career, I have been in consultative sales, reimagining propositions and building high-performance teams at large enterprises. In previous roles, I ran 100+ strong sales organizations across APAC, India, and the Middle East. I have successfully built practices at Infosys & Wipro where I led global practice sales teams and worked on solution proposition innovation, business-impact story-telling, and partnership building. My experience spans across multiple industries and at the intersection of domain, human-centered design, technology foundation, and now increasingly AI and Agentic AI.
