As a qualified professional with over 18 years of experience in Market Analysis, Strategy Formulation & Business development, developed and grew the business through creative planning and implementation mainly for the service and hospitality industry. Successful strategy formulation in the recent past in this rapidly changing, dynamic market has been quite a challenge and learning too.

A deeper and better understanding for association congresses and developing newer methods and IT enabled systems for better delivery has been the focus.
