Prachi Gokhale

I’m a results-driven procurement professional with nearly 3 years of experience in high-volume manufacturing, specializing in end-to-end materials management and supply continuity. I’ve managed Rs. 45-50 Cr annual spend while driving proactive risk mitigation and effective material forecasting to achieve zero stockouts.

As an Assistant Procurement Manager at Tata Steel Colors Pvt Ltd (May 2023 – Present), I handle day-to-day procurement and materials planning for direct and indirect categories, supporting 100% supply continuity. I execute purchase order creation and management in SAP HANA, keeping procurement aligned with corporate Spending and Transaction Policies.

I also partner across Planning, Production, and Finance to automate workflows and resolve supply bottlenecks, improving inventory governance by 15% through data-driven prioritization. With Power BI dashboard design, KPI tracking, and spend analysis, I turn operational signals into actions like ABC analysis and consumption trends to proactively mitigate space constraints and optimize working capital.

I strengthen supplier relationships through vendor onboarding, delivery scheduling, expediting, and negotiations—focused on compliance and audit-ready documentation. Earlier, as a Supply Chain Intern at Flipkart Warehouse, I improved operational efficiency by 45% using Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to reduce parcel handling errors and misplacements.
