A performance-driven professional with a dynamic background in aviation sales, marketing, and finance. Currently leading the marketing and sales division at Vandana Aircraft Services Pvt. Ltd., I manage a six-member team delivering tailored solutions across aircraft interiors, tooling, and aviation safety products. With hands-on experience in project management, product development, client servicing, and budgeting, I bridge the gap between aviation technicalities and strategic growth. My international exposure in the UK, strong communication skills, and deep understanding of aviation operations and components make me a compelling fit for global aviation and charter service roles.
