What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an MBA-led pivot into strategic management, where I can scale operational efficiencies and contribute to growth in the global FMCG sector.

At PepsiCo India, I orchestrate commercialization for 10+ product innovations, aligning R&D, production, and regulatory teams to meet launch deadlines.

I manage qualification of 100+ raw materials through SAP S/4 HANA and lead market monitoring that informs product-led growth. I also partner on oil and sodium reduction initiatives that balance health-conscious innovation with cost efficiency.

Previously at KRBL, I directed labeling and artwork compliance across international trade requirements, supported BRC, SQF, and SEDEX certification readiness, and connected marketing, design, and supply chain teams during product rollouts.
