“From the Streets to the Global Stage: The Inspiring Journey of an Alliance Alumnus From carrying a leather sample bag on a two-wheeler to leading field sales execution across continents Chandan Jogu’s journey is a remarkable story of grit, growth, and grounded leadership. Starting out as a sales representative at Nestlé, he built his foundation the traditional way, meeting dealers, managing local markets, and learning the essence of sales without the support of modern digital tools. It was here that he discovered the value of relationships, resilience, and real-world learning. Today, that same passion has brought him to a global leadership role at Mars Snacking as the Global Director – Field Sales Execution. In this role, he champions the voices of over 80,000 sales representatives, driving technology integration, operational excellence, and meaningful transformation across the organization. In his words, “Farm to table — that’s how I see my career. From the grassroots of sales to shaping global strategies, it’s been a journey of learning, humility, and gratitude.” He credits his mentors, colleagues, and leaders — including Abhijit Dasgupta, Will Beery, Kyle Barz, and many others — for their constant guidance, as well as his wife Sweta Virani for her unwavering support. We at Alliance University take immense pride in celebrating this milestone. Your journey is a true reflection of what it means to stay grounded while aiming high. ”
