Director @ Mintdrops | Natural Oral Care & Wellness

About

As Director at Mintdrops Innovations, I lead the growth and strategic vision of our pioneering brand in Ayurvedic Oral care. At Mintdrops, we believe that oral health is the gateway to holistic wellness. Our mission is to transform daily hygiene through authentic, high-quality herbal formulations rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom. We craft a comprehensive range of natural Oral wellness products, including tooth tabs, herbal toothpastes, tooth powders, natural mouthwashes, cold relief solutions, and more. Our goal is to make clean, effective, and ethical oral care products accessible to all—supporting overall well-being in a sustainable way. Currently, we are actively expanding our presence across digital platforms, retail channels, and through strategic B2B partnerships—particularly in the hospitality and travel sectors. We aim to deliver wellness-centric oral care solutions that align with today’s growing demand for clean, ethical, and experience-enhancing products. With over 25 years of experience in general management and B2B sales across India and Africa, I’ve successfully built and led high-performing teams, driven market expansion, and achieved consistent revenue growth. I excel in navigating complex, multicultural environments and bring agility to sales strategy, operations, recruitment, and project management. Outside of work, I’m a passionate traveler who finds inspiration in exploring new places and cultures. I also cherish time with my family—whether it’s binge-watching Netflix with my son, playing badminton, or singing together at home.
