Bhushan Agrawal
I’m Bhushan, and closing deals is what I do. I’ve done that for cereals in Ghana, cotton yarns in Vietnam and China, and real estate deals in Nagpur.
Apart from work, I love to play all kinds of sports. Sports have instilled in me life skills that classroom walls could never have. Sport is like yoga for me. It taught me how to lead, how to take a loss, and how to be humble after a win.
Right now
I’m the co-founder of 
Indigo International, the export arm of our family’s ginning and spinning mill, Whitecliff Polytex. We ship cotton yarns and raw cotton to Bangladesh, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. I built a network of sales agents in these countries from scratch. More at indigointernational.in.

What’s next
I think we’re still very early in AI, and it’s not a fad. I use it every chance I get, including agents that handle my follow-ups, emails and social media calendar.
I want to work side by side with people who are among the best at it, and bring what I know about selling into new markets.
If you’re building something in AI and need someone to find your first customers, write to me.
