What I'm looking for

I'm targeting senior procurement, indirect sourcing, or supply chain roles in agribusiness, food processing, or agri-input organisations.

At Spur Engineering, I lead indirect and raw material procurement for an areca leaf plates and bagasse products manufacturing unit, managing INR 2.6 crore in annual procurement. I develop a 150+ member farmer and wholesale dealer network and work to maintain supply continuity.

I drive cost optimisation through direct farmer procurement and long-term pricing agreements. I also plan purchasing around demand and production cycles, and manage vendor onboarding, coordination, and payments.

At KAPPEC – Govt. of Karnataka, I delivered export support for agri-commodity exporters, coordinating documentation, certification, and regulatory compliance. I also worked with APEDA, inspection agencies, and certifying bodies to resolve compliance issues.

At KSSOCA – Govt. of Karnataka, I managed organic and seed certification processes, including field inspections and audit coordination. I coordinated with farmers and certification stakeholders on NPOP, EU Organic, and NOP standards, and delivered farmer awareness and training programmes.
