What I'm looking for

I’m looking to pursue a buying role in the fashion retail industry and grow within a dynamic retail environment, contributing to product sourcing, range building, and buying while learning continuously in a fast-paced team.

I’m an Assistant Category Manager for Kidswear at Avenue Supermarts Pvt Ltd, where I’m involved in product sourcing, range building, and buying for kidswear garments. I enjoy turning product knowledge into practical range decisions, while staying organized and vendor-focused.

Alongside my buying role, I’ve built experience through internships in inventory management web modules and fashion/retail operations, including implementing a competency matrix for worker skill assessment and supporting induction process clarity. I also bring creative and collaborative strengths from digital marketing work and my Apparel Production Management background from NIFT Mumbai.
