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.

01 — About

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.

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.
