After quitting his job as an HR Consultant, Saurabh Sengupta, an IIT Delhi and IIM Indore alumnus, joined Zomato (then Foodie Bay) in a Sales role where his job description was as succinct as - "Dhandhaa khadaa karna hai." In over half a decade that he spent at Zomato, Saurabh did exactly that, going from doing door-to-door sales to becoming the VP of Sales, eventually parting with the organisation to establish his own venture.
In yet another candid talk at the InsideIIM Pre-MBA Social Season 3, Saurabh takes us through his journey of making a lifestyle change and joining a start-up, after realising he couldn't deal with the office politics in big companies and the perfunctory nature of the job. Through hilarious and thought-provoking anecdotes, he takes us through his journey of multiple rejections and explains how everyone, after 10-12 years, automatically becomes a salesperson. He also explains why 'Sales' has a negative connotation attached to it, and why there exists a stereotype around the role.
Saurabh's forthright way of bringing out harsh truths makes this video a must-watch for MBA students and aspirants eager to know more about life after an MBA.

after studying in IIT, IIM, leaving white collar job in ac office and going door to door selling app membership to rich restaurant owners.
respect !
सच बताऊँ तो white collar नौकरी ग़ज़ब चूतियाप थी
The reality is only if you an IIT or IIM tag, atleaat you will be eligible to attend the interviews, let alone getting the job. College really matters and that is the truth.
Exactly. Inside college,it's all your hardwork but man iit tag fetches you good companies on campus.
@alpha blaze u choose primary teacher 😂
@alpha blaze choose primary teacher 😂
@alpha blaze go for upsc or rbi grade b if social sciences are your forte . Good luck.
Who told you idiot
he is making us aware of the reality. thnx team.
Hi Rishabh, Stay tuned for more insightful videos!
@@InsideIIMKonversations This is nothing insightful. Big motivational talks are only good for gaining popularity. The reality is that IIT, IIM tag is absolute godlike (only in India) and that makesthe rest of us useless.
@@fusion_flicks95 lol you are deluded then go and tell them they are god like😂
@@anuvabsen It's not me but the society that's deluded. Maybe you or your friends don't think that way but you can't disagree the same about society.
@@fusion_flicks95 dude Indian society is uneducated my two brothers both are iit kgp passouts they get normal salary and all and infact in workplace nobody cares about IIT tag tbh they only told me even I would be going to IIT kgp eee this year it's nothing special tbh people are uneducated and victims of extreme marketing that's it
The bitter truth is that : local trains aur street par jitne different type of customers ka knowledge milega, woh knowledge BSchool me nahi milta
Absolutely right brother 👍
true ...so true
bhokna ban karo
the bitter truth is saabkonpata hai yae baat
This is called true market research
Fact is if you're hardworking, obedient you can clear the exams but you need to be passionate enough to continue with the job
This man knows the reality of the life and the core root of sales process . after seeing the video reminds me the all . H. K Gupta
This is ridiculous
Sales requires
1. Planning
2.Strategy
3.Intelligence
A sharp,intelligent ,educated man can always do well
Very well said, end of the day comes to sales when we are talking about business.
Respect for you sir👍.
Thanks for liking the video. You'll also enjoy watching the first two parts of his video series, Watch Part 1 here - bit.ly/2WeO9PI & Part 2 here- bit.ly/2HXJ1vH
@@InsideIIMKonversations I watched almost all the videos you made, thanks keep posting.
Can relate totally for sales ..one can never have ego as sales , true there are views against sales but don't forget they get the revenue for company..lot of learning here as well
This conversation was precious. Everything he said is raw truth.
Love this guy! Super funny, knowledgeable, and individualistic! Honest too! Please bring more people like him. :)
I can relate with this guy that is why I do watch this video again and again. You know this is the perfect mix of Desi and intelligence with no-nonsense.
Probably the best interview in this channel.. great job Saurabh sir..
I think that sales and analytics are one of the 2 most important functions to have some sort of experience early in your career. If you don't understand data, you can't understand the input drivers that are impacting the business/ metric/ function . Also, with data about everything being gathered at this age, using the correct data and separating the noise becomes critical. The only good way to improve is open the excel sheet and do insights after insights for years on every sort of data from operations, support, product, pricing etc which is a forcing function for an analyst/ recently joined managers in these spaces. A person who has done it for 4-5 years already has ~1-1.5k scenarios analyzed ( huge competitive advantage as the base of all discussion/ meetings is data and connecting dots becomes faster and easier). However, you can have all the data in the world supporting your hypothesis and your ideas, you need to articulate, convince and influence leaders and stakeholders which is where I feel sales or even ops experience becomes very critical. Unfortunately, I don't have sales experience ( inherently also not good at these things) and do feel its impact in some form or another.
This guy is absolutely true about sales. One of the few interviews which had learning and some fun elements. Only thing though is that you need to know your own personality. Like he said he doesn't have a filter, good with people, pleasing personality. If you feel you have strong technical skills then thats also good at its own place.
'Where do you see yourself in 5 years'. Truth served in a funny way. Best learning experience in years.
Really liked all 3 parts of the session. Extremely insightful.
Only the person who can sell, can know the reality of life... and he can do anything.
Ye video mein last 1 saal se periodically dekhta rehta hun....inspirational
I'm commenting first time in my life on CZcams, just amazing, lot of love. A big thankyou.

Dear Admin, I like all the videos of this channel because you are trying to give some real/practical knowledge of market and companies. You and your team are doing a good work. Many students including me gets deviated due to the lack of right guidance. For me it's too late but I am sure that your videos will help many students.
So Thank You.
You had me with the word life style choice . Too good a program
i mean i can relate to sir and his mindset in exact same way ,very nice lecture and guidance for sales ,and the harsh reality of corporate jobs ,loved it
Gosh, he completely shares his experience in Hindi. Thought IIM/IIT guy would intersperse angresi .
Yea
Cause he was in sales and recruitment 😂😂🤣
it's IIT/IIM , not Oxford university .
as he said in the end...aukaat pta chal gyi thi :P no offence
Why is there something wrong with english?
Thank you for this show. Keep running.
Really enlightening. Amazing series 😃
Glad you liked it, Ria!
Amazing series.. thank you team insideiim
Saurabh Sir's honest conversation is amazing click to get insights of IIM. he should be brand ambassador of IIMConversations

nice to c a better host. one who actually looks into the eyes while questioning
Bhot cool. Bhot frank. Thanx team.
Saurabh is indeed a master sales guy who understands the nerves of a sales..
Yep! He does! :D
Great video- Connecting reality with student. Aimed Risk always shine. With lack of market connection, pass out batches a going to preindependence state as corporate slavism. D-D routine (10 Hrs) service leading to reality lacking again. Thank You
Awesome, I'm into Sales ,MBA and Working in sales is building relationships.
Ek no Dhansu channel hai bhai, Promotion karo is channel ki kahan the ab tak. I found it today. Good going.
Kardo promotion :D
have seen more politics in startups.. most of the startups are run as family businesses..
Exactly
I left a start up only bcz of this.. brother in law of owner was only 12th pass and takes decisions which we have to follow🤣🤣🤣.. I said to owner that ur bro in law will sink ur ship.. I simply walked out..
I'm currently working in company just like this ... All the relative of the owner are working .. like dad brother in law .. law's of brother in law..
It sucks i think I'm wasting my time working here.
@@AshishPal-sh2yo Its been two years now.. I left in 2017.. Now I am a teacher.. I teach students and preparing for teaching job..
@@adarshom4255 that's good
It means that even you are graduate from IIM or normal college you have to gain experience to succeed.
Only difference will be package
@@thefight_er that also depends on person to person.
@@thefight_er package will change and you can become as rich as the person from IIM,....
Bhai ek baat sun lo IIM IIT walo ka mind set alag hota hai jo koi aur B Schools ke bachho mein nahi hota uss chiz ka package hota hai in IIs mein.
U r a failure in life
Very nice to listening you saurabh..
eye opener to all of us thank you
This series is fantastic
Glad you liked it :D You are also going to like the next speaker! Stay tuned!
@@InsideIIMKonversations sure.
True inspiration. Telling all the ground reality
Ufff!! Pura dimag khul gaya ... Thankyou sir , I am a fan now.
Extremely valuable sessions. Absolutely loved them. Please come up with more of such sessions.
Can we get more of his insights
Once u start with the part 1
U wish to keep listening 🤭
He's so awesome at sales
And also speaking truth bluntly !
What he spoke was just so true..
I completely understand....Channel and Key Accounts in HCCB. Quit after a year and now an UPSC aspirant. 2 verticals, 3 members, 7 states (NE). Asked boss for manpower...he answered like Subhash Bose 'give me volume, I will give you manpower'. So I got stuck with the chicken and egg vicious cycle. And bechna muskil nahi hai, deliver karna muskil hai.
@Manuj Madan nope 🤣
@@arnab6408 abb kya karoge bhai
White collar job?

Kavi Kumar exactly
Yup and even Sachin Tendulkar, Abdul Kalam , all of them had IIT tags, isnt it?
@@nexusbeing6403 Irrelevant in context to the field of discussion
@@jaskaransinghsodhi2108 he's speaking irrelevant things about popularity which he(and perhaps you think) comes with an IIT IIM tag...
Thank you for demotivating me after getting a bit motivated ... India really needs people like you.. DUH!!!!
You are such a humanitarian.
Sir is candid about the reality we see the things like it is x but in reality it is 1/x.
Like this person.. Bring such type of person
The information given here in a way not less then stand up

People criticize that road momo seller(who makes lakhs of money), they crictise him saying that he is gwar, dignified,and doesn't deserve that much money. But after years of experience they realise that they're too doing the same, selling selling selling, but this time they're selling themselves as a service which is way more worse
Ek no. Yaar...
Definition of 'sale' is noted down at 05:48 .
Fantastic...👍
It is moreover stand up comedy.....what a gentle man he is...!
Key takeaways: You are as good as your product. You are as good as your company.
I wish other realise this too before getting too late.
Sales is the soul of business. No sales No business.
It’s drastically correct🔥
Indeed.
INSPIRING ICON ❤🙃
Really good
Excellent talk!!!
Glad you loved it, Avadhesh
why they're showing the girl with glasses so frequently!!!... I just don't get it!
Arre mostly cameras are fixed. Toh bas zoom in or zoom out krte hai.
She is camera mans daughter😂
taki log video chipakke dekhe..end takk.. another sales skill!
Sales strategy😂
Sir you should really focus on stand up as a career option as well.....
wow! very good initiative.
AAYUSH WADHWA thank you :D
For a good programmer some might think that IQ plays a good role there, to write their own algorithm and write more efficient code.
For a sales person is there any such quality that make them more successful, in short can everyone become good sales person if they try ?
such a honest guy
Thank you
Superb
why the hell everyone wants to do "CODING" I really dont underastand u wanna become manager also as well as a coder .what the realtion can anyone help plz?
Yes sir this is reality of life
Every Host should be like this...
Hey Achal, Glad you liked it! Stay tuned for more insightful videos.
Respect for you sir
So much learning
This series is amazing 🙏
Stay tuned for more speakers! :)
Jack peralta in the house! 😀
takeaway : You are as good as your product is and as good as your company is.
Candid!
So true... in the end, everyone becomes a sales or marketing person....even in relationships...I think every relation in this world is economic-based. Like, A Mother is executing her agenda secretly without catching her son's notice...women are great sales/marketing persons be it mother, wife, sister, etc at the house..they get things done at any cost by men - by hook or crook.
bhai Ye aadmi Legend hai..!! Everyone can relate to him.
