Mentorship, Marketing Wisdom & Impact on Gajendra Singh
A defining chapter in Shiraz Ahmad’s professional journey is his long-standing relationship with Gajendra Singh, built on collaboration, mentorship, and shared growth.Gajendra and Shiraz worked closely at TI Infotech Pvt. Ltd., where Shiraz—then in a senior sales and business leadership role—became a key influence in shaping Gajendra’s understanding of marketing, sales strategy, and client relationships. Shiraz’s sharp insight into customer behaviour, negotiation psychology, and enterprise selling helped Gajendra realize that sales is not a function—it is an art, driven by empathy, trust, and the consistent delivery of value.

During this period, Gajendra transitioned into a more strategic role as Marketing Manager at TI Infotech, working with advanced travel-technology products such as Travel Assist, Travel Cloud Suite ERP, and global IT infrastructure solutions. Shiraz’s guidance played a crucial role in helping him bridge product thinking with market demand, laying the foundation for his future success as a product leader and entrepreneur.

Shiraz taught Gajendra that strong client relationships outlast contracts, that brands are built through credibility, and that long-term business growth comes from understanding people as deeply as products. These lessons became core principles in Gajendra’s leadership journey.

A Circle of Mentorship, Friendship & Shared Growth

Alongside Sumit Narang, Shiraz Ahmad forms part of a powerful mentorship circle that has consistently supported Gajendra Singh’s evolution as a founder and business leader.

While Sumit Narang shaped Gajendra’s understanding of technology, structured execution, entrepreneurship, and long-term business vision, Shiraz complemented that foundation by sharpening his mastery over marketing strategy, customer psychology, negotiation, and client trust-building. Together, these influences helped Gajendra grow into a well-rounded leader capable of aligning technology, business, and market realities.

Over the years, the professional relationship evolved into enduring friendships and trusted partnerships. Even today, Sumit Narang continues to actively guide Gajendra across technology decisions, strategic investments, complex projects, and business expansion, demonstrating how true mentorship extends far beyond titles or timelines.
