<h3><strong><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: black;">Nature of Work:</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: black;">I began my professional journey as the Head &ndash; Strategic Business Unit at&nbsp;<span class="hoverentity-accent">Automartindia Ltd</span>, a venture promoted by&nbsp;<span class="hoverentity-accent">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra</span>,&nbsp;<span class="hoverentity-accent">HDFC</span>, and Sah and Sanghi. My primary responsibility was to establish the certified pre-owned car business and set up the company&rsquo;s showroom operations in Bengaluru.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: black;">The role involved identifying and finalising the property, establishing showroom infrastructure, developing operational processes, driving branding and marketing initiatives, managing recruitment, streamlining end-to-end business operations, and overseeing day-to-day management functions. As the business expanded, I played a key role in establishing additional company-owned and franchisee offices across South India and Goa, while supervising the overall business performance of the region.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: black;">In addition to operational leadership, I also undertook corporate responsibilities as a National Trainer and Auditor. The role further involved building and strengthening collaborations with automobile manufacturers, franchisees, and dealer networks to enhance organisational effectiveness, business scalability, and sustainable growth across the zone.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: black;">The decision to move on was primarily driven by my strong passion for academics and higher education. Consequently, I chose to pursue opportunities in the education sector and contribute towards the establishment of&nbsp;<span class="hoverentity-accent">Prin. L. N.
