What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global sourcing, procurement, supply chain, and NPD initiatives where I can build supplier ecosystems, optimize costs and delivery, manage import risk, and strengthen cross-functional execution.

At Campus Activewear, I lead procurement and strategic sourcing for sports and athleisure footwear, from supplier selection through contract execution and import compliance.

I've expanded supplier networks across China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, negotiated supplier contracts, and built performance metrics that strengthen quality, delivery, and cost control.

Previously at Firefox Bikes and Swiss Military Lifestyle Products, I directed global procurement, demand and capacity planning, inventory management, product sourcing, and supplier development across mobility, electronics, consumer goods, luggage, and leather accessories.

Across 17+ years, I've delivered ₹10 Cr+ in annual cost savings, improved on-time delivery to 95%, and led cross-functional teams and global vendor networks to bring new products to market.
