Why We Exist

One team accountable for revenue.

IamyourCSO was founded after seeing the same pattern repeat across brands trying to expand in India: a strategy consultant for the deck, a local broker for distributor contacts, a marketing agency for trade collateral, and a separate field sales vendor for boots on ground — four different parties, zero shared accountability for whether the brand actually sold through.

The result is always the same. The distributor gets signed but doesn’t prioritise the brand. Field reps report to a different company. Trade marketing doesn’t reflect real channel economics. And when revenue doesn’t come, everyone points at someone else’s lane.

IamyourCSO is built to eliminate that fragmentation. We own the GTM execution engine: the Market Entry Diagnostic, channel partner onboarding, trade marketing and retail schemes, and daily on-ground beat order booking — spanning metros to tier 2 and tier 3 cities.

Founder

Pallab Sen

Pallab Sen founded IamyourCSO with a conviction that consumer brands entering India deserve a partner who is as invested in their market success as they are — not a consultant who delivers a deck and walks away, and not a broker whose job ends when a distributor signs.

IamyourCSO’s structure — one team across strategy, distribution, trade marketing, and execution, with a performance-linked fee — is a direct reflection of that conviction. The model is designed so that the only way SalesOrbit wins is if the brand wins.
