ABOUT RAHUL SIDHARA
AboutFrom generating leads for the US market as a student in Bengaluru to driving strategic growth across international markets from Manchester — my career has been defined by one consistent thread: delivering results, building lasting relationships and leading high-performing teams.With nearly 8 years of diverse international experience spanning industrial automation, retail operations, e-commerce and healthcare technology, I bring a rare combination of commercial expertise, operational leadership and people management that few professionals can offer.At LAISTUNG, I currently lead a high-performing team driving strategic growth across 8 key accounts in the automation sector — consistently achieving 100–115% of revenue targets and scaling account value from $500K to $2M, with 15–20% YoY growth across international markets. My experience spans highly regulated global industries including Pharma & Life Science, Oil & Gas,Material Handling, Food & Beverage, Automotive and Energy.Alongside this, I bring hands-on retail and e-commerce operational leadership from Co-op, where I have been trusted to lead operations at the Corporation Street flagship store — Manchester\'s highest revenue-generating location and Co-op\'s national testing ground for operational innovation. From managing e-commerce fulfilment at scale to piloting company-wide launches and trials, I operate at the intersection of retail, technology and operational excellence every single day.My entrepreneurial foundation was built at Rx365, where I was part of the core team that scaled a healthcare e-commerce platform from zero to a ₹100 million market cap — onboarding 150+ strategic partnerships, leading a team of 25–30 people and executing campaigns that built the brand from the ground up.I am now looking to bring this unique blend of commercial expertise, e-commerce knowledge and operational leadership to a forward-thinking organisation in the retail or e-commerce sector — where I can make a measurable and lasting impact at scale.
