Laxman Shukla

I’m a results-driven Senior Sourcing Analyst with 3+ years of experience in end-to-end procurement and strategic sourcing across APAC, LAC, and MEA/CIS markets. I focus on supplier negotiations, RFX processes, and procurement lifecycle execution that drive measurable outcomes.

At GEP Worldwide, I lead global demand forecasting & volumetric planning, and I developed Power BI dashboards to visualize project demand, FTE utilization, and forecast accuracy. I also handle indirect sourcing categories by analyzing volumes, supplier performance, and commercial impacts for sustained savings.

I oversee the Source-to-Contract (S2C) cycle across 16 APAC markets, managing procurement operations for multiple categories. I lead RFQs, e-auctions, and contract discussions aligned to client KPIs and cost-optimization goals—delivering 15% procurement cost reduction and 25% improvement in supplier efficiency.

Beyond day-to-day execution, I’ve contributed to team enablement through training sessions for new hires on forecasting tools, Power BI dashboards, and demand management best practices. I’m energized by data visualization and market research, and I built a Power BI dashboard for demand forecasting to unify fragmented data and automate reporting.
