About

I have always believed that Value creation is the key essence of sales and business development transforming a hard selling graph into a demand and supply one. What makes it more lethal are the unique skills of people management, ownership, persistence, business & project management, international sales, networking & relationship, strategic alliances, value negotiations and open to innovations. Over the past 12 years, i have made a successful track record of harnessing these set of particular skills which has given me leadership opportunities for conceptualising, launching and developing new and existing exhibitions, conferences and parallel events in India and Asia in the Technology, Manufacturing, Building materials, Architecture and Design sectors. I love to travel, value all cultures and love meeting new people. Music and cooking helps me relieve stress and my sense of humour keeps me and my company alive and smiling always.
