India
Message

At Reliance Industries Limited, I manage procurement strategy for Westbound freight services across Africa and South America, overseeing $30M in annual spend and approximately 15,000 TEUs. I also manage logistics volumes across acquired affiliate sites and negotiate allocation agreements to support business continuity.

I developed sourcing roadmaps and execution plans for freight services at Boltcargo India Pvt Ltd and Wiz Freight (Radar Ventures Private Ltd). I managed RFQ and tender processes and worked with vendors to improve performance and deliver competitive quotations.

At Shipsy (Llama Logisol Pvt Ltd), I partnered with Product & Development teams on procurement-platform features, established a logistics supplier network, and designed the vendor onboarding process and supplier performance framework.

Earlier, at Cogoport, I managed supplier relationships and capacity allocations, sourced competitive rates, and resolved client and vendor escalations. I bring experience across logistics procurement, pricing, strategic sourcing, and supplier management.
