Shikhaj was helpful to me in understanding Account Management landscape and shared how he identified his strengths to position himself. I liked how clear his perspective and communication was! I highly suggest connecting with him, if you want to pick some brain on your career trajectory. He was generous enough to extend our call, and answer all my queries. Thank you Shikhaj. P.S. I forgot to mention that you were my first mentorship call on Topmate!

About me
A Specialized Generalist with a key focus on delivering value and a strong bias for action. My mission is "To enable this world and its people to build seamless experiences."
I firmly believe in data-centric approaches to meet all business challenges. Technology Consulting has a tremendous hold on my heart because it allows me to solve for client's pain points while still being creative and innovative.
I was involved in building a Digital Marketing Services firm after obtaining my bachelor's in Production Engineering with Computer Science minor from Asia's third oldest engineering institute. Later, as an Analyst, I moved into Management Consulting, where I discovered my enthusiasm and zeal for customer-facing work.
In 2021, I moved to the States to become a Blue Devil. I pursued Masters in Engineering Management at Duke University to hone multi-disciplinary skill sets like Design Thinking, Marketing, Finance, Negotiations & Consultative Sales, Data Analytics, People Management, and Digital Transformation.
During my 4 year-long career, I have worked with several stakeholders to help them in building innovative products, strategizing the roadmap, enabling customer success, and achieving growth.
Having worked at companies like Adobe and ZS Associates, I understand the importance of the right culture in running an organization. I strongly believe in a culture that encourages selfless sharing of knowledge, ideas, and thoughts and I cultivate the same belief in my workspace.
I am a passionate table tennis player, an investor, and a listener!
And, If you’ve read so far, message me!
I’d love to talk to you :)
