◆ Dandeli, Karnataka → Bangalore
No degree. No playbook. Just raw energy and the ability to make people stop.
I dropped out of BBA in 2018 and came to Bangalore with nothing except the certainty that I could sell. No connections. No safety net. No fallback plan. Just the belief that if I could get someone to read my message, I could get them to say yes.
Seven years later, I am Head of Sales at Sagepilot.ai, a funded AI startup backed by Neon Fund. I joined on 2 February 2026. The company got its first outbound sale on the same day. Every deal since has come in through cold outreach — zero paid acquisition, zero traditional sales motion.
I close top of industry brands the same way I close every deal. I interrupt the pattern. I make them feel something they did not expect to feel in a cold email. Then the conversation opens. Then the deal closes. It is not magic. It is just a different way of seeing what the buyer actually needs to hear.
Nobody interviewed me for this job. The founder heard about me, called me in for a conversation, and we built something together. That is the only kind of opportunity worth taking.
Recent example. Cold email to Pallav at BoldFit. Subject line: "Pallav, I broke up with my ex faster than your team replied." One screenshot of their unanswered WhatsApp inside. A line about my gym crush replying faster than their support team. A PS asking someone to please reply because my shaker lid needs replacing. He replied. We closed. That is the method on a single page.
