The Maestros Behind GrowthAspire
Krishna G, CEO, Sales Trainer & Coach
Krishna began his journey as a medical representative. He brings with him 16 years of experience in sales training and coaching. Before incepting GrowthAspire, he steered through several roles, including evolving from an Area Manager to a Business Development Manager within the Unisearch and Neuforva division of Unichem Laboratories. However, a desire to pivot into the sales industry led him to Mercuri Goldmann where he expanded his expertise as the company’s Consultant. With each step and crossing every learning curve, Krishna became a Senior Consultant and dedicated over 1000 days to classroom training across 20 industries.
Being in the sales industry didn’t lessen Krishna’s hunger, and the desire to foster independent growth for the sales team led him to embark on an entrepreneurial journey. With a vision to empower sales professionals by providing fresh insights and strategies, Krishna decided to build GrowthAspire with Prashanth. To date, he has developed numerous programs and collaborated with over 90 companies in sales and sales management.
Prashanth G, Co-Founder, Influence & Business Acceleration Coach
Academically, Prashanth has done Electronics Engineering. He possesses 17 years of rich experience in tech giants like Samsung & Startups in India & USA. He ventured into the entrepreneurship world in 2015. During 2014-15, he also pursued 1-year Business Excellence Program from the Hass School Of Berkeley in the USA, which equipped him with business acumen and added strategy, marketing, and finance expertise to his portfolio.
His first startup was TaxiBay, a unique platform for booking vehicles online by onboarding 82 agencies and 4500 vehicles. Although the company ran successfully for three years, Prashanth’s inner calling and passion for understanding the psychology of behaviour science made him pivot towards self-development and professional coaching and training. That’s when, with a dedication to helping leaders ace their business using behavioural science tools, Prashanth joined hands with Krishna to build GrowthAspire and pioneer transformative solutions in sales training and consulting.
Transitioning into the business role meant learning different skills such as acquiring customers, customizing programs, delivering to the requirements and following with post-workshop implementation. Krishna and Prashanth excelled by demonstrating adaptability, resilience, and a deep understanding of the dynamic sales landscape. They successfully handled the challenges that came their way, thus positioning themselves as prominent leaders in the field.
