Parth Thakkar

I’m a certified Salesforce Architect and Consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience solving business problems across industries. I specialize in building scalable, cost-effective, and maintainable Salesforce solutions - from startup deployments to enterprise transformations.


👋 My Journey

I started my Salesforce journey in 2015, joining a small company in India. It was a humble beginning that gave me hands-on experience and sparked a genuine interest in the platform.

Not long after, I began freelancing, working directly with clients and solving real-world business problems. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to support customers from Canada, the UK, the USA, the UAE, and Australia - each project bringing new perspectives on how different businesses operate, think, and grow.

In 2018, I accepted a consulting opportunity in Bangkok for six months. It was my first international on-site role and helped me grow into more complex implementations while collaborating globally.

In 2023, I moved to the UK for a new challenge - and I’ve been based here ever since, continuing to help businesses across industries maximize their investment in Salesforce.

🧠 My Approach

My approach is simple: keep it practical, use common sense, and think like you’re part of the business.

Too often, companies end up with complex, expensive systems built by teams who don’t truly understand their needs. I’ve helped businesses clean up and simplify these setups - delivering results that actually work for the people using them.

  • Work as part of the team - not as an outsider
  • Understand the business deeply - not just the tech specs
  • Automate where it makes sense
  • Reduce cost and complexity - without cutting corners

I believe the right solution, built with common sense and true collaboration, can save businesses time, money, and frustration.
