the driving force behind every big, bold move the company undertakes. An engineering graduate turned business maestro, Pratik is known for his dynamic fusion of technical acumen and business panache. Armed with an MBA from Welingkar, Mumbai, he is not your regular corporate player, he is a strategist, technology enthusiast, and indefatigable problem solver all rolled into one. Pratik's career graph? Anything but ordinary. With nearly five years of a motley mix of experience in Banking, CPG, Retail, and FinTech, he has gone through a maelstrom of number crunching in high-stakes finance to the frenzy of consumer goods. Now, as Director at Sunren, he oversees everything in the sales and marketing realm, driving strategies that push the boundaries of the business. It's not only business, but it's both an art and a science combination, somewhat like chess in that a single move may mean everything. Growth? That's his word. Tech innovations? Obsessed. You'll find him deep in the trenches, tweaking business models and redefining strategies that fuel Sunren's success in the high-stakes world of Wireless, RF, Telecom, and Safety Testing.
