Abhishek Gupta

21 years in sales and business development. I have carried a bag, managed a territory, run a zone, and eventually built the national sales team for a consumer goods company. I know what a regional sales manager in Surat deals with because I have been one. At Jobdha, I head the Sales & Business Development practice, reviewing reports on sales managers, area sales managers, regional managers, zonal managers, sales executives, store managers, BDMs, and key account managers. The data we track shows clearly how FMCG, pharma, and retail distribution networks drive the bulk of India's sales hiring. Weekends are for cooking — I make a proper Lucknowi biryani — and exploring local mandis and traditional markets.
