Deel(Jun 2023 - Dec 2024)
getting started-
- After a year working as a chef, I wanted more ownership, impact, and upside — so I moved into tech/startups.
- GTM was the fastest way in, so I learnt everything about b2b sales on the internet and started applying.
- Sent a cold email to the head of sales at Deel with a video, he called me for an interview and offered the role. (also posted about me)
what i did-
- Did GTM as an outbound sales rep and finished at 220% YTD avg across 2 years.
- Built outbound motions from scratch in cold territories and new market segments, which generated quota-exceeding pipeline in untapped regions.
- Designed sequencing frameworks and messaging playbooks that increased reply rates by ~50% and closed-won deals by ~30% across the sales org.
- Ran constant A/B tests on outbound strategies, then turned the learnings into training + templates to ramp new hires.
Americano(2021 - 22)
- I wanted to become a chef — but had zero restaurant kitchen experience.
- Americano was one of the best restaurants in Bombay, and had been featured in the World’s 50 Best restaurant list.
- So I cold emailed the head chef and asked for a job.
- He told me to show up the next day for a trial shift. I did — and got hired.
- Worked 16-hour days, no weekends off, made a million carbonaras and practically slept on the restaurant floor for a year. Enjoyed the grind but didn't seem exciting enough in the long run so moved to tech.
