A New Standard in Sales Training "Sales training in India has traditionally been skills-based," Sharma commented in a recent leadership forum. "But what drives lasting impact is when we train identity, not just ability. That's when confidence takes root. That's when revenue follows." What sets Sharma apart, according to industry insiders, is his fusion of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with high-performance sales strategies. His training programs incorporate subconscious alignment techniques, behavioral simulations, and consultative selling principles--reshaping how Indian sales professionals think, feel, and close deals. From Struggling Sales to Strategic Selling Across sectors--from banking and insurance to real estate, FMCG, and IT--companies are reporting measurable outcomes. These include increased client retention, improved Net Promoter Scores (NPS), and significant growth in high-ticket sales. "Rajiv's programs don't just teach selling," says Priya Iyer, CHRO of a leading technology firm in Bangalore. "They transform how our teams show up--confident, prepared, and aligned with the customer. We've seen a 50% spike in performance across three regions." Sharma's flagship corporate training engagements focus on aligning sales behaviors with organizational KPIs, guiding participants through the sales process with tools drawn from authoritative selling, negotiation psychology, and key account management. National Impact Through NLP Limited As the driving force behind NLP Limited, Sharma has positioned the company as India's leading training firm for sales professionals, salespeople, and emerging sales consultants. The firm works with companies all over the country, including major accounts in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Chennai, delivering programs tailored to local and global business dynamics. In recognition of its high impact, NLP Limited has expanded its partnerships with top training companies in India, and now delivers programs across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Changing the Sales Career Narrative For young professionals entering the sales industry, Sharma's influence goes beyond performance. His mentorship and leadership coaching have helped hundreds of individuals rise from entry-level sales roles to senior business development and key account positions.

With markets on edge, is it time to rebalance portfolio: Expert view
Short-term investors and those who don't want risks should consider rebalancing sooner, says Rajiv Sharma Global markets have gone up and down as investors try to make sense of trade tensions, regional conflicts, and monetary policies. Many investors are asking if it's time to pause, review financial goals and lock in gains before things get more volatile. Rajiv Sharma, partner at Singhania & Co, offers his perspective. Market Environment 'Geopolitical events viz., ongoing tariff war, de-dollarisation efforts by Asian region, unending Ukraine-Russia war, Middle East conflicts and war-like situation between India and Pakistan are the primary drivers negatively affecting the current state of the equity market,' said Sharma. He noted that headline risks have pushed volatility to levels where even seasoned investors are rethinking their allocations. When to consider rebalancing Timing, Sharma insists, is personal: 'Short-term investors, or those with low-risk appetite, should consider rebalancing sooner, potentially shifting a portion of equity holdings into more stable assets like bonds, especially during periods of heightened volatility.' He cautions against waiting for a perfect bottom, arguing that a proactive shift can preserve capital and reduce the emotional toll of sudden market swings. Indicators to watch Rather than relying solely on quarterly reports, Sharma tracks market sentiment closely: 'Market is driven by sentiments which are formed due to various reasons. Currently there are enough factors for formation of negative sentiments. So, sooner rebalancing is better particularly those who have weak risk tolerance.' He also watches technical signals, such as extreme readings in the VIX or credit-spread widening, as triggers for incremental adjustments. Balancing Costs and Tax Impacts On execution costs, Sharma is blunt: 'Transaction costs are minuscule while rebalancing and securing risk and should not be a factor for rebalancing — portfolio particularly in such a turbulent market as is now.' As for taxes, he points out that in a down-market scenario, capital gains are often minimal, so 'capital gain tax in most cases will not be a factor to consider in crashing market when investor hardly had any gains to be taxed.'
