Summary

I am a results-driven supply chain professional with a background in engineering and a strong track record in procurement, logistics, and data-driven decision-making. Transitioning from engineering to supply chain, I quickly adapted and now manage a ₹200 Cr spend base, overseeing end-to-end procure-to-pay (P2P) processes for multiple business units. Skilled in contract negotiations, vendor management, and cost optimization, I have successfully achieved 10-15% savings through strategic sourcing and digital procurement using SAP and Ariba. I thrive on stepping out of my comfort zone, finding innovative solutions, and continuously expanding my skillset to drive efficiency and business impact.
