What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement leadership role where I can drive global sourcing, contracts, and cost-optimization initiatives, strengthen vendor networks, and ensure end-to-end compliance and high OTIF performance.

I’m a dynamic, results-oriented procurement professional with 12+ years of experience in Global Procurement & Contracts, ITC and Manpower Contracts operations across engineering, chemical, packaging materials, services, and CapEx/OpEx procurement. I focus on import and local procurement, cost reduction initiatives, and building vendor relationships that keep supply reliable and compliant.

At Zoetis as a Senior Associate (Capex and indirect material), I lead global procurement operations across engineering and ESS & Contract activities, Capex and packing procurement. I’ve driven new engagement and vendor development initiatives to optimize supplier networks and mitigate procurement risks, delivering measurable cost efficiencies and stronger supply chain effectiveness.

Previously, as a Manager – Global Procurement Operations at Olam International (taken over by Salic KSA), I led procurement strategies across global operations for critical materials and services, improving supply chain execution while achieving significant cost reductions. At Adani Wilmar Ltd., I managed import procurement for engineering materials and automation products—collaborating with Mitsubishi and LS Electric Korea—and delivered a 12% reduction in lead times, along with procurement that supported 96% OTIF; earlier, at Atul Ltd., I centralized procurement across MRO, MOC, CAPEX, Projects & ESS and managed Electrical and instrument-related projects with a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of INR 400CR.

My earlier experience strengthened my fundamentals in procurement execution and supplier governance—preparing subcontractor and supplier packages with BOQ specifications and drawings, creating and releasing purchase orders, and implementing cost-saving initiatives. I bring a practical, detail-driven approach shaped by my engineering background and a Postgraduate Diploma in Materials Management, and I’m ready to bring strategic planning and team leadership to a procurement organization that values accountability and performance.
