Shubhang Balodi

Cofounder -One78 Payments Solutions

With 12+ years of experience in consumer electronics, retail, and distribution, I have built a track record of driving revenue growth, optimizing channel strategies, and scaling businesses across high-impact industries. Having led multi-million-dollar portfolios and large-scale operations, I now seek to transition into a CXO role where I can leverage my strategic acumen to drive innovation, business transformation, and customer-first solutions in B2B SaaS, fintech, or consumer tech.

Career Journey & Impact
Amazon Devices International (2018 – Present)
As a Sales Manager at Amazon Devices International, I have been instrumental in scaling and program-managing the Fire TV Stick and Echo portfolio across South India. Managing a $5M+ annual revenue portfolio, I:

Expanded distribution across 2,000+ customer touchpoints, ensuring deep market penetration.
Led a 100+ third-party supervisory team, streamlining operations and optimizing performance.
Drove a 9x sales lift during promotional periods, aligning demand planning with dynamic market trends.
Revamped channel partnerships by onboarding regional retail powerhouses and implementing a data-driven distributor selection playbook to enhance efficiency.
Strategic Playbook for Distribution Optimization
I built and program-managed a distribution playbook in collaboration with National Distributors (NDs) to identify and mentor high-performing regional distributors based on metrics like:
✔ Reach
✔ Engagement
✔ Working Capital Strength

This rigorous selection process helped filter 100+ distributors down to 10, ensuring quality partnerships that optimized inventory flow, improved operational efficiency, and maximized sales.

Retail & Business Expansion Expertise
Throughout my career, I have specialized in expanding and scaling retail and distribution operations from scratch, ensuring sustainable growth through:

Strategic market entry and expansion, tailoring go-to-market strategies for regional and national markets.
Data-driven inventory planning, reducing stockouts while maintaining lean operational efficiency.
Retail manpower training and enablement, ensuring on-ground teams deliver superior customer experiences.
Future Vision – Transitioning to CXO Roles
I am now actively seeking CXO opportunities in B2B SaaS, fintech, or consumer tech, where I can:
✔ Drive revenue growth and operational excellence at scale.
✔ Lead strategic business transformations in fast-growing industries.
✔ Build high-impact teams and optimize cross-functional collaboration.
✔ Leverage data and automation to enhance decision-making and efficiency.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
