What I'm looking for

I'm looking for procurement, purchase, strategic sourcing, vendor development, supplier relationship, or procurement operations leadership roles in automotive or manufacturing.

At Sungwoo Hi-Tech India, I lead procurement of up to ₹550 crore per month across 1,200+ variants and approximately 4,000 MT of raw materials monthly. I drive supplier development, localization, international sourcing, CAPEX procurement, and inventory optimization.

Across 22+ years in automotive and manufacturing, including Indiech Valves India, DY Power India, Surin Automotive, Varroc Engineering, and Kalyani Forge, I’ve developed 130+ vendors and delivered 2.6–3.1% procurement cost reduction. I’ve supported greenfield projects, localized BOP and hydraulic-cylinder components, and maintained material availability with zero line stoppage.

I combine commercial negotiation and supplier management with hands-on control of stores, warehouses, material planning, GRN, stock reconciliation, and working capital. I work across SAP and ERP environments to strengthen supplier performance, delivery reliability, and production continuity.
