Selling by day.
Forging by night.
Manjunath. Seventeen years in enterprise technology sales — and a one-person AI venture built in the hours after the market closes. Scroll, and watch the day end.
Two decades in the room where enterprise deals happen. Nights in the terminal where agents run.
I've spent ~17 years in technology sales across two of the industry's biggest names — currently leading an inside-sales team covering North & East India for the SMB and mid-market segment at a global computing & printing company.
Outside the quarter-close rhythm, I build under the name LuciferForge: MCP security tooling, prediction-market trading systems, AI research, and automation infrastructure — all designed, shipped, and operated solo.
The thread connecting both: systems that produce measurable outcomes. Pipeline or P&L — if it can't be counted, it doesn't count.
Career, in displacement wins and built pipeline.
Leading an inside-sales rep team on quarterly acquisition quota across North & East India. Competitive displacement wins, partner coordination, and AI-assisted prospecting infrastructure I built myself — account enrichment pipelines covering 700+ accounts.
Progressed through individual-contributor and account-management roles across two of the world's largest PC makers — commercial desktops, workstations, and peripherals into Indian enterprise and mid-market.
I don't just use sales tools — I build them. Prospect databases, enrichment workflows, win-announcement automation, discovery-call training systems. A seller who ships code compounds differently.
When the sun goes down, a solo venture forges autonomous systems.
Everything below is designed, built, and operated by one person, from Bangalore.
The lens is where the systems thinking switches off.
