Inside Sales & GTM Strategy Leader | B2B SaaS | Pipeline Growth | Revenue Impact
Bangalore

Summary

I build outbound engines that turn cold leads into closed revenue. Over 6 years, I’ve sold everything from high-ticket real estate to drone-based SaaS, closing deals with CXOs across India and ANZ.. I don’t guess — I track pipeline, forecast accurately, and scale systems that hit targets. If it doesn't grow revenue, I don't waste time on it. $150K+ in pipeline added via ABM. 35% faster close rates. Team uplift? 30% productivity gain after sales playbook deployment. I'm not here to “be in sales.” I’m here to drive growth.
