Bio

Sunil has over 21 years of successful career, spanning across Military and Corporate domains. Honed with military skills after ten years of an illustrious career with the Indian Air Force, Sunil started his second innings in the corporate world.

He then moved to ISS A/S with the aim of designing and implementing a Commercial Centre of Excellence for Asia Pacific from scratch. He soon established this with a high-performance team based in India that comprised of Bid Management, Price Management, CRM administration and Performance Management, Graphics Designing, and Knowledge Management functions.

What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Being in the elite group of advisors responsible for shaping the Winning Business ecosystem.

What's your best memory from attending an APMP event?

I always wanted a BPC event to be organized within the Asian sub-continent. Having the first flagship BPC Asia event in my hometown in Mumbai in 2022 is my best memory.

What advice do you have for a proposal professional entering our field?

I believe the proposal professional to be analogous to the Orchestrator of a symphony. In an orchestra, every musician is an expert. However, none can play a symphony unless led by an orchestrator. Similarly, sales, operations, and other organizational resources cannot complete a winning proposal unless led by a proposal professional. I want every proposal professional to believe this.

Anything else you want to add?

I have had a great journey with APMP since 2019. I started as an APMP India governing board member in 2019 and have been able to serve as the Chair and Past Chair of APMP India, where we saw tremendous growth and engagement, which led us to win the Stephen P Shipley Chapter of the Year Award. I have now got the honor and privilege of serving as a governing board member of the APMP HQ.

The time was a good investment, and I expect to reap benefits now and in the future!

Certification has enhanced my worth as a bid professional. It has validated the skills and experience I have and is proof of my bid management qualities and capabilities. It has given me a springboard to develop my career and aim for Professional certification.

Acquiring this micro-certification allows me to expand my aperture regarding the collaboration between capture and proposal management to develop more robust, customer-centric Executive Summaries for future pursuits. It allows me to advance my skill set, evolve my knowledge, and reflect my commitment to continuous learning.

This was my first APMP event, and I was wholly impressed. The energy in the room reignited my passion for this industry, and I can't wait to get back to my team to implement what I have learned.

This topic, Executive Summaries, is way underrated. The Executive Summary is the most eye-catching document, which almost everyone on the customer side reads. Yet, in most bid teams, we don’t dedicate the attention it deserves. I want to learn about something I can immediately put into practice at my workplace, which provides a “quick win” to the team and is a long-term benefit for the company.

As a sales coach, the executive summary is vital for capturing and proposing management activities. This is an excellent addition to our members' professional standing, and I look forward to many more micro certifications.

APMP has changed my professional life, elevating it to a standard that I didn’t know existed. Aside from the professional advantages of being certified as an APMP Professional, it’s the community of members who make it so special.
