Innovative Business & Management professional with a combined professional experience of over 14+ years in multiple capacities across different geographies.
A highly motivated and enthusiastic self-starter, Saurav started with sourcing & buying right from the core of production centres for global brands in Europe & Americas. In a short span became the sourcing head of division at an upcoming now market lead Indian online retailer.
“An eye for product and sourcing the best material at the best price is my strength. Confident, proven and experienced in leading & working with winning teams, I am well equipped to work within or by myself. My professional experience has physically spanned two countries (India & Australia) in addition to work relationships in multiple regions.
Settled in Sydney, I was quickly drawn to opportunities of exporting Australian products to markets like India where demand is ever increasing. Australian wine & spirits demand has increased multiple folds with its quality & taste speaking for itself globally. I believe India is now ready to accept more reasonably priced imported wines as it is the fastest growing sector in its category and will continue for coming years. This is the perfect time to get in, and the recent successes of new path breaking domestic & international spirit brands is a perfect example. Taking initiative is the key, the market is buzzing and it’s going to get crowded very soon.”
