What I'm looking for

I'm looking for India-based procurement, strategic sourcing, supply-chain, import-export, or MRO/electrical distribution buying roles where I can improve vendor terms, landed cost, logistics, and procurement workflows.

I've led end-to-end procurement and company operations at METEK Trading Company in Doha, managing sourcing, RFQs, purchase orders, tenders, inventory, and supplier payments across electrical, industrial, and test-and-measurement products.

I source directly from manufacturers and authorized distributors across India, China, and global markets, using multi-quotation negotiation and GST-inclusive landed-cost models to cut procurement spend by up to 50% on key buys. I've managed international freight, import documentation, Incoterms, customs clearance, and dangerous-goods shipment holds through DHL, FedEx, TNT, UPS, and Aramex.

I've also led purchasing and vendor coordination at Innoviz Systems and owned sourcing for B2B trading opportunities at Asante General Trading. I founded ERPClaw, a self-built procurement workflow tool using WhatsApp and Telegram for RFQs, PO follow-up, and supplier communication.
