What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead BIS/ISO 17025/17020 compliance audits, manage nonconformities to closure, and coach teams to build repeatable quality cultures—helping manufacturing and testing organizations improve efficiency, safety, and operational consistency.

I’m a results-driven Technical Auditor with 7+ years of experience in quality management, production supervision, and compliance auditing. I specialize in BIS Standards auditing across 20+ product categories and ISO/IEC 17025 & 17020 compliance, using root cause analysis and nonconformance management to drive corrective action to effective closure.

In my current role with TUV Nord India (BIS-Audit), I conduct end-to-end compliance audits, design quality management systems aligned to BIS regulatory requirements, and support audit preparedness through targeted training and guidance. Earlier, as a Production Supervisor/Controller, I improved operational efficiency through structured production planning, enforced safety regulations, reduced material waste by 25%, and cut lead times by 15%—while building consistent quality standards through training and systematic process improvement.
