I am a seasoned sales professional with over 9 years of experience across diverse sectors, including travel, tourism, hospitality, and retail. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive revenue growth, retain clients, and align business strategies with market demands.

In this role, I successfully developed and implemented sales strategies that resulted in a noticeable increase in annual revenue. Managing a portfolio of over 70 clients, I achieved a 95% customer retention rate. I was responsible for positioning Amadeus solutions to our target audience, preparing contracts, and crafting incentive policies aligned with competitive market standards.

Before that, I served as a Sales Executive at Ace Travels Pvt. Ltd. where I handled international travel and tour services. My responsibilities included managing bookings and invoices, maintaining sales records, participating in trade fairs, and staying updated on industry trends. I actively liaised with airlines, hotels, and GDS providers to ensure efficient and competitive service delivery.

I collaborated closely with marketing, finance, and operations teams to ensure business alignment and client satisfaction.

Additionally, I bring valuable international retail experience from my tenure at Majid Al Futtaim (Carrefour), UAE, where I worked as a Business Clerk from 2014 to 2017. My role involved transaction processing, inventory management, and delivering exceptional customer service that led to repeat business and positive client feedback.

Academically, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BASW) from K & K International College, affiliated with Tribhuvan University. I also completed my HSEB in Management with a focus on Computer Science at Universal College.
