First business
A food catering business launched while still in college, the first entrepreneur in my family. Within a year it expanded into a fast-food joint. Both taught me more about people and pressure than any MBA ever could.
About Sharat Sharma
I have sold on the streets, door to door and face to face, with no safety net, and in boardrooms with CXOs, MNCs and Fortune 500 leaders. That dual experience walks into every room I train in.

The story
The first entrepreneur in my family, still in college. Selling was never a department. It was survival.

Corporate
After three years running my own ventures, the corporate world added the discipline and systems thinking to match my founder instincts.
2013
Since then: 200+ organizations, startups to Fortune 500s, India and beyond. Street-level hustle meets boardroom experience in every engagement.
Most training feels good in the room and fades by Monday. Mine doesn't, because it is not built on theory or tactics that expire. It is built on two decades of selling: on the streets, door to door and face to face, with no safety net, and in boardrooms with CXOs, multinationals and Fortune 500 leaders.
That dual experience is the lens I bring into every room I train in. My methods stick because they are rooted in how the brain actually works. Everything I build is anchored in the 5M Model, a proprietary methodology developed over twenty years and tested across 200+ organizations.
Over 20 years and 200+ organizations later, my work still comes down to two questions: how do you lead people effectively, and how do you maximize profits? Every keynote, program and coaching engagement answers one of them.
Because the complexity is almost always added, not inherent. Selling is difficult, but it isn't complicated. The organizations that improve are willing to identify the real constraint, practise deliberately and stay with the change until it becomes normal.
Today I am the founder of Simpli5Sales, India's Sales Talent Enablement Company, the author of The One Invisible Code, the host of the Let's Talk Sales podcast, and a regular contributor to Entrepreneurs.com and People Matters.
