<p data-start="20" data-end="390">I began my professional journey as the Head &ndash; Strategic Business Unit at <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">Automartindia Ltd</span>, a venture promoted by <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra</span>, <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">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.</p>
<p data-start="392" data-end="885">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.</p>
