business. Having run a profit centre for an MNC and a stint at
entrepreneurship, I feel I could add tremendous value to any organisation
that I work for, especially a real estate one.
My Experience is rich and varied and learnings are profound and lasting,
having burnt my own money I know what revenue and profit means. I
understand the importance of Cashflow better than anything else.
I have been a people’s person and have proven management skills.
What am I seeking : Regardless of the nomenclature one uses,I am looking for a position which offers the opportunity
for me to use my skills and experience and add valueto what I do. I can be anythingfrom a Head of Leasingto Head of

I am looking for something on a long term basis, however I am happy to consider assignments that require me to
streamline operations within a fixed time frame.
Important : I am developing a platform for the CRE industry which is in an advance stage,I would like my potential
employer to take cognizance of it and allow me to developit, You can view a part of the platform at www.tricorex.com
