IT procurement professional at Mahindra & Mahindra who delivered INR 22 Cr in savings and cost avoidance.

At Mahindra & Mahindra, I manage an annual technology spend portfolio of INR 500 crore and delivered INR 22 crore in cumulative savings and cost avoidance through sourcing, contract renegotiation, license rationalization and demand consolidation.

I negotiate and redline Order Forms, MSAs, SOWs and amendments for SaaS, cloud and IT services, working with Legal to secure price protection, renewal caps and improved payment terms. I also manage technology purchasing and supplier governance.

Previously, as a Project Engineer - IT Automation & Data Migration at WIPRO LTD., I automated migrations using PowerShell and ShareGate and built scripts that reduced migration effort by 60%. I used SQL to cleanse and validate migration data, and developed a parking lot application front end using HTML, Bootstrap and JavaScript.
