What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can optimize end-to-end supply chain using WMS/TMS, drive cost savings, continuous improvement, and lead cross-functional teams.

I am a supply chain and logistics leader with 18+ years of experience optimizing end-to-end operations across manufacturing, retail and e-commerce. I combine strategic planning with hands-on execution to deliver cost savings, improve service levels, and build high-performing teams.

At Bata and Honda I led large-scale warehouse, transport and vendor networks, implemented WMS/TMS integrations, launched cross-dock centres and reduced primary freight costs through process and supplier optimisation. I have a proven record of delivering KPI-driven improvements, green transportation initiatives, and successful system rollouts.

I am collaborative, data-driven and change-oriented, with an IIM Calcutta advanced program in supply chain management and extensive experience in continuous improvement, governance and stakeholder management.
