Marketing Consultant

Cargill Foods India

★ Launched NatureFresh Shakti Palmolein in Orissa by identifying an untapped market opportunity and crafting a compelling vitamin-enriched positioning that resonated with health-conscious consumers - the same strategic thinking I bring to positioning professionals for career success.

General Manager - Marketing

Max New York Life Insurance Co. Ltd.

★ Revolutionized how India perceives life insurance by transforming a traditionally taboo financial topic into an engaging, trust-building conversation - the same reframing expertise I use to help professionals transform from overlooked candidates into sought-after talent.

★ Launched Max New York Life's India entry strategy and orchestrated the game-changing partnership with cricket legend Rahul Dravid, positioning the brand as "the wall of trust" - a campaign that propelled us to become India's 4th most admired private life insurance company by 2007 through strategic celebrity endorsement and authentic brand positioning.

★ Orchestrated David vs. Goliath brand warfare by developing breakthrough product, marketing, and advertising strategies to re-launch Savlon against the entrenched market leader Dettol - experience that taught me how underdogs can win through superior positioning and strategic thinking.

★ Delivered extraordinary turnaround results: 14% market share against Dettol within just two years, setting the foundation for aggressive category expansion into soaps, first-aid kits, and antiseptic wipes - proving that the right strategy can transform any underdog into a serious competitor.

Brand Manager

Lowe Lintas

★ Launched my career among advertising legends at Lintas, learning from some of India's finest creative minds and witnessing firsthand how world-class communication transforms brands - foundational training in persuasion and messaging that now helps professionals craft compelling career narratives.

Client Servicing Executive

If you're sending 100+ job applications and getting zero interview calls, the problem isn't your qualifications - it's your strategy. 🔥

Most professionals in India are stuck in the "application trap" - endlessly applying online while the best opportunities are filled through relationships you haven't built yet. I've watched 25,000+ working professionals transform from invisible job seekers to irresistible candidates using a proven system that has nothing to do with sending more applications.

Here's what I know about your frustration:

You're qualified. You're experienced. You deserve better opportunities. But you're competing with 3,000+ applicants for every job posting while 90% of the best roles never get posted online. You're playing a rigged game where HR systems filter you out before any human sees your potential. 

Meanwhile, your family is watching, your confidence is dropping, and you're starting to wonder if something's fundamentally wrong with you.

There isn't. You just need the right system.

I help ambitious professionals like you get found by decision makers instead of chasing job postings. 

Through my proven N.E.E.T. methodology (Network, Engage, Excite, Transact), I've helped professionals across every industry - from software engineers in Bangalore to finance directors in Mumbai - land roles with 30-80% salary increases. Not by applying to more jobs, but by becoming the person companies actively recruit.

My clients don't compete with thousands of applicants because they're having conversations with hiring managers before positions are even posted. They don't negotiate from desperation because they have multiple offers to choose from. They don't explain employment gaps because they're positioned as solutions to business problems, not problems to be solved.

Whether you're currently employed but stuck, recently laid off, or returning from a career break - the system works because it's based on how hiring actually happens in India, not how we're told it happens.

After 33 years in corporate India with companies like Unilever, Nokia, and Cargill, and 11 years coaching professionals through career transformations, I've seen what separates those who get hired quickly from those who struggle for months. 

It's not about being the most qualified. It's about being known, liked, and trusted by the people who make hiring decisions.
