About

I'm an aeronautical engineering graduate and passionate about the Aerospace and Defence industry. I have a varied experience in sectors across Business process management, Hi-tech (consumer electronics, software, internet, commercial equipment, semiconductors & hardware), Manufacturing (aerospace & defence) and retail. In my twelve years of work experience, the core domains I was involved in were Global Business Services, Industrial Internet of Things, Supply Chain Management-Aftersales and IT Infrastructure Management. I have a fair bit of work experience and knowledge of cloud computing (AWS, MS Azure, Salesforce, IBM Bluemix & Mendix) and would like to explore more in this sector. I have been working with Genpact for the past 4+ years, mainly handling operations in the Aerospace & defence sector. I am pursuing my journey towards becoming a certified Six Sigma Lean black belt, I want to implement this skill in my work and optimise what I do which will add value to me and the company or client I'm working for. As much as I'm looking to expand my boundaries in my career I like to keep myself busy in my personal life too. I am a professional club level cricketer where I have played 2 seasons for Doocot Park Cricket Club, Scotland (2014-15) and currently playing for Wilspoke Cricket Club, India since 2022. I like to call myself a motorhead as well and spend my weekends working on my motorbike and my car or going on road trips with my friends. My hobbies are reading books and currently in the process of building a library and collecting music and aspire to run a radio station someday as I believe that art is a very important element which helps maintain world peace and growth for the human race. I'm also a firm believer of this phrase from the French military "être fort pour être utile" so I like to keep myself fit and make sure I never miss my workout session every day. I have studied and travelled in Europe and India I like to learn about different cultures and traditions which helped me be multi-lingual and have a global perspective and outlook towards life. I associate myself with adjectives like collaborative, dedicated, self-motivated, purpose-driven, reliable, honest and punctual. I have a process over result kind of mindset.
