What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to leverage my deep domain and managerial expertise to drive operational excellence, resource optimization, and business growth.

At Honeywell Sundyne India, I lead NPD/NPI programs for magnetic drive centrifugal pumps, guiding products from concept and design through qualification and production release. My work includes pump packaging and value engineering that reduced BOM costs by 12–18% while meeting API 610/685 standards.

Previously, at QuEST Global Engineering Pvt. Ltd., I managed engineering programs for global OEMs and delivered 15–25% cost savings for Halliburton through value engineering. At Weir Minerals India Pvt. Ltd., I worked on slurry and centrifugal pump modeling and engineering documentation.
