While working as a Salesforce technical architect at Tech Mahindra, Mr. Dutta led the company to success by achieving impactful results. He designed and implemented various Salesforce solutions for different clients, including Mahindra Automotive North America.

Thanks to his efforts, there was an increase in sales by 20% at Mahindra.

Mr. Dutta’s position as a Salesforce solution architect at Slalom was also very significant. It went beyond just implementing solutions to becoming a strategic partner for their clients. As such, he understood the client's business needs, developed Salesforce solutions from scratch that are innovative for scalability purposes, and led the project team through implementation processes. 

One of his remarkable undertakings at Slalom entailed merging CRM systems for Ford Smart Mobility. The platform brought together customers’ needs to make it an easy task for staff to avail individual assistance more efficiently in matters relating to personalized purchasing experiences. “This enhanced Ford's operations, improved customer experience, enhanced data management, and saved cost,” Mr. Dutta adds. “At the same time, it contributed significantly to Slalom’s revenue base.”

Today, many companies implement Mr. Dutta's CRM systems due to their innovativeness. They are custom solutions that integrate seamlessly with other business tools, are easy to operate, secure, and scalable.
Beyond these achievements, Mr. Dutta faced some significant hurdles along his career journey, especially during the Mahindra Automotive North America project. This included the requirements of complex integration between newly implemented CRM and DMS systems and Mahindra’s existing ERP, inventory management, and dealer portals. However, he was able to bring in his deep technical knowledge and strategic planning to address these challenges.
