Guest Lecture on Sales and Marketing by Mr. Prateek Lalwani

On May 26, 2025, Embark College was joined by Mr. Prateek Lalwani, Chief Business Officer and an experienced industry expert with eight years of driving growth for Xiaomi, Hikvision and Ezviz, who presented a captivating guest lecture on Sales and Marketing.

Since he has handled over ₹400 Cr in revenue as an authorized distributor and mentored more than 500 students, Mr. Lalwani shared a combination of real-world and educational experience in the session. He presented students with information on selling in real life, including planning, managing channels, financials and decision-making for long-term development.

The session started with a review of the present sales and marketing conditions in India and globally, pointing out that technology, changes in consumer attitudes and digital advancement are causing rapid change. Mr. According to Lalwani, having a good brand reputation, knowing what customers require and increasing the use of data in marketing decisions are all crucial for marketing strategy.

The following subjects were considered as important during the session:

Creating and following useful sales plans to achieve set revenue goals

Working with multiple companies involved in distribution and improving partnerships

Collecting and using performance data helps boost marketing performance.

Selling products in person as well as on the internet in a mixed market

Bringing together various team members and making sales efforts match the company’s overall targets

Key ideas are explained through actual experiences of Xiaomi and other leading companies.

What stood out in the session was how Mr. Lalwani applied his real experiences and examples from business to the training. He discussed the obstacles companies meet when expanding into new markets, facing off with other firms and adjusting to disruptive trends. Learning this way let students see clearly how theories apply in busy and challenging business environments.

Because the lecture was interactive, students were involved in question-and-answer moments, studied case studies and completed exercises that simulated real problems. As a result, students understood difficult ideas better and became more creative about addressing sales and marketing problems they might encounter in their workplaces.

In addition, Mr. Lalwani gave important tips to people aiming for a career in sales and marketing, reminding them to stay strong, care about their customers and keep learning.

The team at Embark College appreciates what Mr. Prateek Lalwani brings to our seminars. Guest sessions help us bring classroom learning together with what happens in real industry, so our students can develop the skills needed to lead in business.
