What I'm looking for

I seek a remote Procurement or Strategic Sourcing role to leverage 17+ years of experience in supply chain optimization, cost reduction, and global vendor management. Blending corporate manufacturing discipline with entrepreneurial e-commerce agility, I aim to build resilient supply chains, optimize inventory, and drive measurable cost savings for a growing company.

At Craftdwar, I co-founded a handicraft brand and lead procurement. I developed direct vendor relationships and introduced wooden toys sourced from the Channapatna artisan network to 10+ retail stores, increasing partner retailer sales by 15% per month.

I also launched Uttarakhand heritage house décor in three variants and developed multipurpose wooden house-shaped piggy banks. My bundled kitchen accessory kits reduced customer purchase cost by 5% and increased average order value.

At Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd., I localized machine spare parts, achieving a 75% cost reduction and reducing procurement lead time by 60 days. I also localized cutting tools, reducing procurement cost by 55% and lead time by 75 days.
