What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to excel in project management and expand my expertise in energy solutions.

I am a dedicated Project Manager with over 5 years of experience at AGS Transact Technologies, where I lead and manage projects specializing in fuel retail automation and contactless fuel payment solutions. My role involves overseeing the implementation of various automation systems across India, including the Forecourt Controller and Outdoor Payment Terminal. Recently, I initiated and launched Fastlane, India's first contactless fuel payment solution, enhancing fueling efficiency for individual vehicle owners and fleet operators.

Prior to my current position, I worked as a Project Lead at SEE-Tech Solutions, where I managed energy-saving projects and contributed to the development of innovative solutions in the field of solar energy and energy management. My educational background includes an MTech in Thermal Engineering, where I focused on enhancing heat transfer efficiency through advanced methodologies. I am passionate about driving process improvements and operational efficiency through strategic consulting and project management.
