August 2002 — March 2004 (1 year 8 months)
Business Development. I had to get new sellers to adopt the Baazee platform as an alternate sales channel for their business, and train / manage them through startup to becoming advanced online sellers.
I also had to manage, monitor, and grow the categories under me in terms of sellers, product range, transactions, and revenue.
Under me, the Apparels & Accessories categories went from scratch to the largest transactions category, and Watches became the third-highest revenue generator for Baazee at the time, next only to Mobiles and Electronics.
