What I'm looking for

I'm looking to leverage my strategic sourcing, vendor and contract management, procurement governance, and supply chain experience to optimize costs, enhance supplier performance, strengthen compliance, and support sustainable business growth.

I've led IT software, technology services, and information security procurement at SBI Cards & Payment Services, securing approximately 14 Crores in savings in my first year through reverse auctions, negotiations, and vendor contract optimization.

Previously at ONDC, I directed CAPEX and OPEX sourcing across technology, marketing, operations, and corporate services. I generated approximately 12% procurement savings through strategic negotiations, supplier benchmarking, and high-value sourcing optimization.

My work spans end-to-end sourcing, RFx management, commercial negotiations, contract lifecycle management, supplier evaluation, SLA governance, and procurement compliance. I've managed technology and software procurement with organizations including Iron Systems, SoftwareOne, and global vendors such as Adobe and VMware.

I'm also a founder who scaled JSK Industries' plastic-component manufacturing operations from a single shift to continuous 24-hour production, combining buyer-side procurement, supply chain operations, and business leadership.
