At LCC ENGINEERING PVT.LTD, I manage procurement operations for direct and indirect materials and execute supply and service long-term contracts. I also use market research and alternate sourcing to support cost-effective procurement.

Previously, as Assistant Manager - Techno Commercial at Innovsource Services Pvt.Ltd (Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd) (Adani Group), I handled domestic procure-to-pay processes and vendor onboarding through SAP ARIBA. I developed sourcing strategies and supported cost-saving targets for CAPEX and OPEX categories.

Earlier, at Zodiac Energy Ltd and Sahaj Solar Pvt Ltd, I sourced project materials, negotiated supplier terms, and followed up on production planning and dispatch. I began my career at Vodafone Essar Ltd as Technician Support, handling customer and document processes.
