EXPERIENCE

Senior Enterprise Sales Executive  |  Stacksync Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (B2B SaaS, Supply Chain Visibility), Mumbai  |  Jan 2022 – Present

—  Manages a territory of 14 enterprise accounts with combined ACV of ₹4.2Cr; consistently above 110% quota across 5 consecutive quarters

—  Closed 2 new enterprise accounts above ₹60L ACV in FY23 — both sourced independently through outbound prospecting, not marketing leads

—  Runs full enterprise sales cycle independently: discovery, technical evaluation, commercial structuring, legal, and close — average deal cycle 90 days

—  Built the company's first case study programme by working with 3 customer success contacts to document and present measurable outcomes; now used as primary sales collateral by the full team

—  Named account executive of the year at the FY23 sales offsite based on new logo acquisition and expansion revenue

Enterprise Sales Executive  |  Stacksync Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai  |  Sep 2019 – Dec 2021

—  Closed 3 enterprise accounts above ₹40L ARR in first year — highest new logo count for a first-year AE in company history at the time

—  110% quota attainment in year one; 118% in year two

—  Built territory from a cold list — 8 of the current 14 accounts were self-sourced through industry events, referrals, and direct outreach

—  Spent 4 months working a large freight forwarder account that ultimately did not buy — ran a post-mortem on the loss, documented root cause (misread of IT procurement cycle and wrong economic buyer identified), shared with the team; now standard practice before account qualification

Sales Executive  |  Jacaranda Port Services Pvt. Ltd., JNPT, Nhava Sheva  |  Aug 2017 – Aug 2019

—  Managed commercial relationships with 25 freight forwarder and NVOCC clients at Jacaranda's JNPT terminal services operation

—  Handled invoice disputes, berth allocation escalations, container detention negotiations, and contract renewals — no account manager layer between the client and execution

—  Closed 8 new port services accounts in 18 months against a target of 6; converted 3 accounts from a competitor during a port congestion incident when they handled it poorly

—  Worked alongside the terminal operations team during peak periods — understood firsthand the pressure on freight forwarder teams around berth windows, DO releases, and last-minute documentation corrections

Sales Trainee  |  Maersk India Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai  |  Mar 2017 – Jul 2017

—  4-month internship with Maersk's Mumbai commercial team — supported senior account managers on ocean freight proposals and rate negotiations

—  Assisted with quarterly volume review preparations for 5 key accounts; built working knowledge of liner shipping contracts and surcharge structures
