What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in plant operations and project delivery where I can use data-driven execution to cut delays, control costs, and improve reliability—while collaborating cross-functionally and continuing applied technical research.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering graduate (NIT Rourkela) who combines technical analysis with hands-on execution. I developed a CO2 heat pump cycle model that optimized energy usage and helped forecast significant energy savings, leading to publication in Heat Transfer Engineering (2025), and I’ve earned strong recognition through top-tier academic and competitive rankings.

In plant-focused roles at Jindal Steel, I’ve driven cost and execution outcomes by streamlining procurement and project workflows. As an assistant manager on the HSM project, I saved ~₹30 Cr by short-closing idle project POs/WOs via SAP, supported continuous plant operations by proxy decision-making across 5 plants, and improved response times by reducing PR-to-PO delays by 22 days—while coordinating work orders involving 300+ workforce within tight timelines.
