Learning the Technical Side

I have been at Stripe for over a year now. Working here has shown me how much better sales conversations go when you actually understand the product. So I am teaching myself the technical basics.

• JSON and HTTP — I am learning how data is structured and how it moves between systems. Things like request and response formats, status codes, and headers.
• API documentation — I read API docs from companies like Stripe to understand how endpoints, parameters, and authentication work.
• Developer experience — I want to understand what makes a developer product good, so I can talk to technical buyers in a way that makes sense to them.

Why I Am Doing This

When I can read Stripe's API docs and understand what a prospect's integration might look like, I ask better questions during discovery. I write sharper outreach. I can tell the difference between a quick integration and a complex one. That helps me qualify leads on technical fit, not just budget and timeline.

At Work

I am still running inbound qualification at Stripe's delivery center in Bangalore. My day-to-day involves managing leads, running discovery calls, and working with SDRs and AEs across APAC and EMEA.
