India

Message

At APICORE PHARMA / APICORE PHARMACEUTICAL — Part of RK Pharma, I managed strategic procurement, supply chain, and regional operations across India and the Middle East. I delivered ~18% procurement cost reduction through strategic sourcing, vendor development, negotiation, and process improvement.

I managed INR 5–10+ crore in annual procurement spend and built an international supplier network spanning five regions. I also managed 20+ projects end-to-end, coordinating procurement, supply planning, logistics, timelines, and risk mitigation.

I led a 30-member cross-functional team and implemented demand and supply planning, supplier tracking, and backup-supplier strategies. My earlier work included sourcing film-production equipment at EDIXUAL CREATIONS and supporting client acquisition at ARIZO.
