Whats your role in BYJUS?
I work as Assistant General Manager Sales. I handle multiple verticals, sales training, and performance for the entire South region.

Whats your biggest skill?
I talk and I teach people. I look after training, and my basic skill revolves around teaching people the nitty gritty of sales.
Who has been your favourite WFH buddy?
During this lockdown, my mom has become my best friend. Until now, I didnt get to spend so much time with her or stay at home for this long. It was pretty cool hanging out with mom and even watching some of her favourite Malayalam-language shows.
Whats your secret to productivity?
My secret to productivity is intense planning. I believe in Murphy’s Law: whatever can go wrong, will absolutely go wrong. So, I focus a lot on prepping and enabling my team to be prepared for challenges.
