@palashtarekar

I optimize global inventory, supply readiness, and SKU lifecycle decisions to reduce risk and excess stock.

At Estée Lauder Companies, I led global inventory planning, SKU transitions, and inventory risk management for 10,000+ SKUs across major beauty brands and regions.

I reduced excess and obsolete inventory liabilities by $83M+, helped recover $2M in at-risk revenue, and prevented approximately $3.5M per month in potential overproduction exposure through demand, supply, and sourcing analysis.

I build Power BI and Excel dashboards, align Planning, Finance, Marketing, Sustainability, and Operations teams, and create repeatable processes through SOPs and training.
