What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead end-to-end supply chain and operations transformation where I can scale high-velocity networks, strengthen planning and inventory discipline, improve customer experience, and deliver measurable cost and service improvements.

At Samsung Electronics India, I lead end-to-end ecommerce and omnichannel operations for a USD 350 Mn portfolio across 1,000+ SKUs, 20+ RDCs, and multiple 3PLs. I reduced logistics cost by 20%, improved O2D time by 30%, and cut cancellations by 20% through network redesign, localized fulfilment, and SLA governance.

Previously, I helped Grofers (now Blinkit) scale from next-day delivery to 10-minute quick commerce, growing to 200+ dark stores while improving warehouse productivity by 30% and reducing cost by 23%. My experience across GSK, Snapdeal, Flipkart, and consumer-electronics assignments spans S&OP, demand planning, inventory, warehousing, logistics, control towers, and large-scale team leadership.
