What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior leadership roles in industrial automation or engineering where I can lead turnkey automation projects, scale teams, apply lean/Six Sigma, and drive manufacturing efficiency in Bangalore/South India.

I am a results-driven industrial automation and tool engineering leader with 23 years' experience delivering turnkey manufacturing solutions across automotive, aerospace and robotics sectors. I have led fixture, process and special-purpose machine design while heading automation design teams.

At my current company I served as Assistant General Manager and HOD - Automation Design, leading Fixture Design for nine years and Automation Design for twelve years, delivering 360+ robot implementations and a $7M turnkey project for a Sweden factory, among other complex machining and assembly solutions.

I combine hands-on expertise with team leadership, Lean/Six Sigma Black Belt skills, and practical use of tools such as Autodesk Inventor, Tecnomatix, Fanuc Roboguide and Minitab. I seek opportunities to scale automation, optimize processes, and lead cross-functional engineering teams in manufacturing-focused environments.
