What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead procurement and supply chain initiatives, optimize costs, develop vendor partnerships, and drive measurable operational improvements.

I am an accomplished purchaser and supply chain professional with over 11 years of experience in manufacturing and cable television sectors, focused on procurement, inventory control, and vendor management.

I have led teams to implement procurement strategies that improved profit margins (from 43% to 53%), reduced inventory costs by ₹15–20 lakhs, and cut delivery lead times while achieving meaningful transportation savings.

I bring hands-on experience with SAP, ERP systems, vendor onboarding, contract negotiation, material planning, logistics coordination, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver operational efficiency and measurable cost reductions.
