Vishal K. Thakur · International Business Development

Building trust. Solving problems. Scaling success.

I help SaaS and B2B companies find the right accounts, build pipeline that holds up under scrutiny, and close deals across markets and time zones — with AI doing the legwork, not the thinking.

The short version

Vishal K. Thakur
Vishal K. ThakurVishal Kumar — documentary name · Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh

I grew up in Kamrau, a small village in Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh, and spent the better part of a decade chasing a very different life — the NDA, the CDS, three attempts at the UPSC Civil Services, a Master's in Economics squeezed in alongside more than fifty competitive exams. None of it landed the way I'd planned. But the discipline built in those years — research, patience, reading a room under pressure — turned out to be exactly what international sales asks of you.

I bridge the gap between ambitious business models and successful market expansion. With over five years navigating the Australian and wider international business ecosystem, I specialize in marketing strategy, sales, and high-conversion lead acquisition — pairing data-driven marketing with structured sales process to turn cold interest into closed deals.

My work is built on operational discipline: sustainable growth doesn't happen by accident, it happens through scalable SOPs, clear mentorship, and seamless CRM execution. I've closed 20+ franchise deals and business listings in a single month, and I know what it takes to build trust and drive high-ticket conversions in a competitive international landscape.
