Summary

I bring over 18 years of experience in the travel industry, specializing in corporate sales and business development. My focus is on driving revenue growth, building strong client partnerships, and delivering impactful business outcomes. At ATPI, I lead corporate sales across multiple cities, with expertise in solution selling, RFP management, and strategic account handling, while also mentoring teams to achieve business goals.
I began my career with Galileo in the East India market, went on to set up the AirAsia GSA for Kolkata, and later worked directly with AirAsia Berhad for the East region. Over the years, I have managed diverse markets for six years in South India and now for more than six years in the West, gaining extensive regional expertise. Skilled in negotiation, market insights, and resource optimization, I am passionate about fostering long-term client relationships and aligning sales initiatives with organizational success.
