Recognized with 9 Star Club awards and multiple Best ASM and Best RSM awards, sales excellence and execution have been central to my journey. Across my career, I have progressed from front-line sales to senior leadership roles, gaining hands-on experience in respiratory and specialty care segments. I began as a Marketing Executive with Lupin Respira in 2011, grew into Area Sales Manager in 2013, and was promoted to Regional Sales Manager in 2016, followed by Senior Regional Sales Manager in 2018. In 2020, I moved to Alkem Pharmaceuticals as a Divisional Sales Manager, and since 2021, I have been contributing to Mankind Pharma, where I was promoted to Sales Manager Manager under the Aspiris Division in 2026. Over the years, I have developed a strong passion for coaching, training, and mentoring teams. I enjoy helping sales professionals sharpen their skills, improve call quality, and achieve sustainable performance through structured guidance, constructive feedback, and on-the-job learning. My leadership style focuses on clarity of expectations, disciplined execution, and empowering people to grow into future leaders.Open to connecting with professionals in pharma, healthcare, and learning and development to share insights, explore collaboration, and contribute to building high-performing, future-ready sales teams.
