About

A Sales & Marketing leader with an AI-first lens.

I've spent 14 years in Sales & Marketing — all of it inside the dot-com industry. My journey has taken me from B2B media sales at IndiaMart, to driving the Alibaba.com channel partnership at Redington, to corporate real-estate portals at Magic Bricks (Times Group), and now to Vipani.ai — an AI-powered B2B marketplace where I lead business development.

What sets me apart from a traditional Sales & Marketing leader is my focus on AI as the new multiplier. I apply AI across prospecting, content, outreach, enablement, and campaign analytics — translating AI capabilities into clear commercial wins for teams and buyers alike.

I'm MBA-qualified and ISB Digital Marketing certified. Currently open to Head of Sales & Marketing, VP Sales, VP Marketing, or CRO roles with ambitious B2B, SaaS, and AI-first companies.
