What I'm looking for

I am a dedicated Research Scientist with over 16 years of experience specializing in specialty chemicals, particularly in process development, custom synthesis, and technology transfer. My career has been marked by a strong commitment to innovation and excellence, leading teams to successfully execute complex R&D projects and production processes. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with cross-functional teams, ensuring that client needs are met with precision and care.

Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in various separation and purification methods, including high vacuum distillation and crystallization at a commercial scale. My role as Sr. Manager at Anupam Rasayan India Ltd. has allowed me to lead multi-project initiatives, manage raw material procurement, and oversee the dispatch of finished products. I have also contributed to the development of novel fluorinated compounds and have a solid background in troubleshooting synthesis problems, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety in all my projects.
