A “foodie” so to speak, since my 23 years of career has spanned across variety of Food & Beverages companies, expanding various geographical territories for the brand and literally teaching people to eat new foods.This has led me to achieved 18% growth in the Modern Trade segment through mass distribution in untapped markets including North East, Eastern & Western including Bhutan. Through this invigorating professional journey, I have mastered the art of trade management, which I believe is the heart of any retail business success. Through this experience, I have gained exceptional knowledge of General Trade, Modern Trade, HORECA, and IRCTC. Because I understand the stakeholders well, I have been able to grow the organisations profitably, establishing start-ups and propelling revenue growth opportunities by implementing strategic roadmaps, brand building measures, implementing best practices, and making inroads into new accounts. A people-centric leader, I have been credited for building the talent pools, retaining & motivating teams, implementing best practices, and facilitating high-performance for delivering record-breaking, where I won the Best Branch Manager award and the branch was also awarded as the Best Branch in the FY 2012-13 & 2013-14.
