Summary

I have a diverse professional background combining customer service, technical support, and tourism entrepreneurship. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with organizations such as Zenith Infotech, SERCO BPO, Convergys, Ezee Technosys, and Omni Hospitality, gaining strong expertise in customer relationship management, technical troubleshooting, hospitality solutions, and client support across global markets including India, UAE, USA, Canada, and South Africa.

Alongside my professional roles, I founded and managed Angel Tours (now Tissou Tours) in 2012, specializing in industrial visits, group travel, and customized tour solutions. I successfully collaborated with colleges, travel agents, and overseas partners to deliver educational and leisure travel experiences across India and abroad.

This combination of corporate experience and entrepreneurship has equipped me with strong skills in business development, operations management, customer engagement, cross-cultural communication, and tourism management. Currently based in the UAE, I am seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise in travel, hospitality, and client services within the region.
