About

The same job, in five different cities.

I sell, and I build the systems that make the selling work. Here is the longer version, and how I actually work when no one is watching.

I am Dhrumil. I grew up in Bhavnagar, a small city in Gujarat that most people outside the state cannot place on a map. I have spent about four years selling so far, and most of that time quietly building the systems around the selling.

The first thing I built was a dessert brand that put Indian sweets into Western desserts. Two things that should not go together, made into one that did. I did every part that was not baking, the selling and the systems around it. I have been making the same move ever since.

Then Zomato sent me to launch towns nobody had heard of. I signed up restaurants before a city had gone live, and I learned that a market is just a set of problems you solve in order. After that, Toronto, where I started selling phone plans on the floor, moved up to supervising three locations, then into small-business lines. I did a postgraduate diploma at the same time.

Now I run outbound at Uplers, mostly to founders and CTOs across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia. I build the lists off buying signals, I write the sequences across email and LinkedIn, and I carry the good ones to a discovery call. I qualify thirty to thirty-five leads a month and take fifty or so calls, converting about half from the first call to the next stage. I run the inbound desk too when it comes in. Cold calling is the one piece I have not run yet, and the first thing I would add and dial from week one.

Around all of it I build. An AI that reviews my calls. A dashboard that rebuilds itself. An objection library I open mid-call. The cities kept changing. The actual job never did.

On the markets side, I cleared the Canadian Securities Course in Canada. I also sat the CFA Level I exam, did not pass it, and I am not done with it. I invest the way I like to sell, I look for the picks and shovels and skip the lottery tickets.

I would rather understand why a number moved than memorise the number.
How I work
01Automate the boring parts.If a task shows up twice in my week, it becomes a script or a sheet. Then I make the script better.
02Flag the risk early.Money, timezone, fit. I would rather surface the hard thing on the first call than watch it kill the deal on the last one.
03Write the recap before they ask.The follow-up that lands same day, with the one thing they actually cared about, does more than any deck.
04Practice the objection before the call.I open the library, deal myself the one I am weakest on, and say the answer out loud once. Then I pick up the phone.
05Leave the number more honest than you found it.A pipeline that lies is worse than a thin one. I would rather report a smaller real number than a bigger hopeful one.
Say hi

Want the rest of it live?

I am quickest on LinkedIn, and happy to walk through any of this on a call.
