The short version

A career spent making complex technology land as clean commercial wins.

I started on the engineering side — Electronics & Communication — but my real trade has always been translation: turning printers, servers, software and security stacks into deals that close and customers who stay.

From key accounts at Dell and product management at Wipro and Ricoh, to running software, MPS and display-panel business for Sharp Middle East across the GCC, CIS and Africa, I've built the same thing everywhere: a repeatable way to sell solutions, not just boxes.

Today I co-run Alpha Web Innovations between Gurugram and Dubai — managed IT, office-automation software, video analytics, IT hardware, even atmospheric water generators and EV-battery analytics — for customers across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

I also teach: visiting faculty for management at CollegeDekho, and I coach salespeople through the thing nobody names — sales anxiety. And I keep learning obsessively: investment management, international business, data science, four languages.

Where I add weight

The handful of things I've done long enough to do them well.

/ 01

Managed Print Services

From site survey to fleet optimisation to a partner-ready MPS framework — I've built the whole motion, then localised it market by market.

/ 02

Document & data security

Digital document security, DMS, scan and user monitoring — packaging technology providers into a portfolio customers actually trust.

/ 03

International business dev

Live customers and channel partners across the GCC, CIS, South Asia and Africa — and the cross-border relationships that keep them.

/ 04

Solution architecture

Defining scope, technical aspects and system architecture so a pre-sales promise survives contact with delivery.

/ 05

Channel & bid management

Appointing, training and enabling partners; structuring bids and strategic tie-ups that widen the portfolio without diluting focus.

/ 06

Sales-anxiety coaching

Consistent 100%+ target years taught me the mental game matters as much as the pipeline. Now I help salespeople work through the anxiety nobody talks about — plus teaching and arbitration consulting on the side.

04

Still a student

Recent formal study — because the market keeps moving and so should I.
