He is an entrepreneur at heart and employee by choice. He is a corporate rebel and a change agent.

His day job is with SAP India as Director – Customer Advocacy and his passion is to help small business owners and startup founders build the organization that they would be proud of.

His mission is to re-invent sales:

• The ever connected, social and mobile world has transformed how people buy (from other people or from other businesses).
• The social media revolution has given consumers and buyers power to talk back to brands.
• The rapid growth of online commerce (e-commerce or m-commerce) raises a question mark on the existence of many sales professionals.
• The sales processes and methodologies have not kept up with this transformation of the buyers world.

The way we sell, measure the performance of the sales executives, work with other parts of our organization needs to be transformed for the sales executives to not only remain relevant but thrive in this new reality.

Mukesh volunteered on the Corporate Rebels United website to lead a new set of Value creation practices for the sales organziations which can help them thrive and grow! Check out his page: http://corporaterebelsunited.com/practices/practice-3-re-inventing-sales/
