Be a Believer to be an Achiever.

As a person with a growth mindset, I believe that if my mind can conceive it, I can achieve it. According to me, an individual's mindset can make all the difference; especially in sales and business development. A person with a positive mindset can see an opportunity where his/her counterpart does not. Throughout my 14+ years' career, I have grown companies' revenue and sales volume by consistently embracing new challenges, successfully tackling them, and figuring out how I can get better at them.

After completing my Master's degree in Strategic Marketing from The University of Akron, OH, USA, I re-joined H. Rajesh and Company and helped the company grow by identifying opportunities where its competitors did not. Numerous successes were achieved in the form of introduction of new concepts, establishing company's presence in new customer segments, and penetrating new markets.

Currently, I am the Head of Sales & Business Development at H. Rajesh and Company. Here, I am in charge of leading teams for managing functions such as sales, business development, client-servicing, and marketing. Also, I drive efforts for building strategic alliances with influencers, negotiating business contracts, and formulating sales, business development and marketing plans. Key revenue-generating contributions included:
* Growing sales volume significantly by acquiring business from new clients and existing clients.
* Developing large network of influencers to grow sales.
* Penetrating tier II and tier III cities in India as well as new customer segments.

Also, I founded Lavana Art, an e-commerce platform for buying and selling artwork. This entrepreneurial experience has helped me hone my social media marketing skills. Here, I worked closely with digital marketing agencies to develop social media marketing plans, establish target markets, and generate leads via social media ads.

With passion for learning and to continuously improve & upgrade my skill-set, I did a Certification Program in Coaching from Symbiosis Coaching USA, an ICF-Accredited University and became a Certified Life & Business Coach.

Reading business & financial news, meditating, going for a walk, traveling, trying different cuisines, learning about new cultures, networking, and playing sports help me unwind. My hobbies help me stay calm, energised, improve my emotional quotient (EQ) & concentration, enable me to look at a challenge from several angles & perspectives, and motivate me to continuously better myself.
