Founder, CEO

Corporate Net Solutions

Experienced COO in the SaaS industry with a focus on operations, sales, and marketing. Eager to connect with like-minded professionals and always open for a thoughtful discussion. For a deeper dive into my journey and expertise, feel free to read on.

A first-generation immigrant turned serial entrepreneur, I embody the concept of self-made success. 

From launching my first venture at 19 to co-founding multiple successful software companies, I've explored various niches in the digital space, always leaving a significant footprint behind.

With an entrepreneurial journey that started in web hosting with businesses like Host The Name and Power Up Hosting, I found my calling in the SaaS industry. Teaming up with my best friend and business partner, Udit Goenka, and later our CTO Lukas Liesis, we embarked on a mission to revolutionize the SaaS landscape with Little SaaS, a company that has given birth to innovative platforms such as PitchGround.com and FirstSales.io.

PitchGround.com serves as a bridge between SaaS founders and their first 1,000 users, while FirstSales.io – a cold email outreach automation tool – is increasingly becoming the software of choice for modern B2B sales professionals. Our vision with FirstSales.io is to make sales automation more efficient and effective, drawing from our technical background to create innovative solutions that evolve with the industry's demands.

As a COO managing multiple projects, I've faced challenges and celebrated wins, but one motto always guides me: "Always keep moving forward with Empathy for others and yourself." This belief is reflected in my approach to work and leadership. It's also shaped my expertise in areas like Cold Email Copywriting, Sales Funnel Strategy, Pipeline Building, Revenue Growth, and Management of Sales, Marketing, and Software Development Staff.

Aside from my business endeavors, I'm also a mentor for young entrepreneurs through the Forbes Business Council. It gives me great satisfaction to witness businesses grow and surpass their potential via platforms like PitchGround and FirstSales.io.

Looking to connect with like-minded professionals, potential collaborators, and anyone interested in transforming the world of SaaS.

If you are a sales professional in the B2B space, FirstSales.io is worth a look. Automation is key to growth in this space, and FirstSales has it covered.

If you are a SaaS founder looking for traction for your project, contact me on LinkedIn, and let's chat. I'd love to hear more about your project and help you get your first 1,000 users. 🚀
