At TransformationX, I advised a leading KSA tech firm on a SAR 3B+ category spend strategy, identifying SAR 200M+ in savings opportunities and securing executive alignment on the implementation roadmap. I also developed a procurement governance framework with policies, procedures, and 30+ sourcing templates.

At PharmEasy, I designed discount logic and automated pricing workflows that unlocked INR 540K/month in incremental GMV, and helped launch 200+ private label and OTC products. I also built a crude oil supply nowcasting model during my D.E. Shaw & Co. internship, forecasting petroleum output at 97% accuracy.
