What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my food safety expertise while fostering a culture of quality and compliance in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated food safety auditor with extensive experience in quality management systems and food safety protocols. Over the past few years, I have successfully completed over 100 auditing hours and conducted more than 10 FSSAI third-party audits across various manufacturing sectors, including spices, nutraceuticals, beverages, and dairy. My academic background includes an M.Tech in Quality Management from Birla Institute of Technology and a B.Tech in Food Technology from Cochin University of Science and Technology.

In my role as a Senior Executive QA at Symega Food Ingredients Limited, I managed over 15 audits in FY 23-24 and developed integrated food safety and quality systems across multiple units. I have a proven track record of scoring high in AIB audits and leading internal audits, risk assessments, and GMP/PRP audits. My commitment to continuous improvement has been demonstrated through training and mentoring QA staff, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and enhancing sanitation practices.
