[Aug 01, 2024] – Today, the Association of Indian Technology Sales Professionals™ (AITSP™) proudly announces its official launch as India’s first and only membership-based association exclusively dedicated to the technology sales profession. This momentous occasion marks a new era of growth, collaboration, and advancement for technology sales professionals across India.

“I am thrilled to introduce this ground breaking platform that has been meticulously designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by technology sales professionals in India. For too long, our industry has lacked a dedicated space for knowledge sharing, Professional development, Certification, Nationwide events and Recognition and AITSP aims to fill this void by fostering a vibrant community where members can unlock their full potential.

With over two decades of experience in the industry, my goal has always been to provide career aspirants with a structured path and to empower them to make informed choices rather than leaving their success to chance. For experienced professionals and leaders, I aim to create a platform where buyers can appreciate the expertise and background of these individuals, showing respect throughout the entire sales process. It’s crucial to shift the focus away from sellers who solely research and understand the customer, and instead, highlight the significance of mutual respect and understanding in every interaction” says Santhosh Srikant, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AITSP.

The decision to launch AITSP at this critical juncture in India’s technological landscape is no coincidence. The country is experiencing an unprecedented surge in technological innovation, with businesses across sectors rapidly adopting digital solutions to drive growth and efficiency. This transformation has created a burgeoning demand for skilled technology sales professionals who possess the expertise to navigate complex sales cycles and deliver tangible results.

AITSP recognizes the pivotal role that technology sales professionals play in driving this digital revolution. By equipping our members with the tools, resources, connections, learning and development they need to excel in their careers, we are not only empowering individuals but also contributing to the overall advancement of the technology industry in India. Also, many in India enter technology sales careers by chance rather than informed choice. We aim to change this by empowering students and professionals from diverse backgrounds to make informed decisions about entering the field through structured guidance, mentorship, and awareness initiatives.

The soft launch of AITSP marks the beginning of an exciting journey. In the coming weeks and months, we will be unveiling a wide array of initiatives and programs designed to empower our members and elevate the technology sales industry as a whole.

“As a co-founder of AITSP, I am thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking initiative. With over two decades of experience in the technology sales industry, I have witnessed, first hand, the need for a dedicated platform that supports professional growth and elevates industry standards. AITSP is designed to be that platform, where technology sales professionals can come together, share knowledge, and gain recognition for their achievements.

As the saying goes, ‘Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.’ I am excited about the future of AITSP and the positive impact it will have on our community. Together, we will create a thriving ecosystem that supports innovation, collaboration, and excellence in technology sales.” says Suneet Manish Bhargava, Co-founder, AITSP.

We invite all technology sales professionals in India who are passionate about their craft and eager to make a lasting impact to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves, our industry, and our country.
