About
My first real professional chapter began on the shop floor at Tata Motors, one of India's leading automakers, where I was supporting pilot-to-production project planning of an MCE NPI. It was inspiring to have an early and formative exposure to large-scale operations: cross-functional teams, tight timelines, and stakeholder management. It was followed by a brief stint at Darwinbox where I witnessed a different kind of rigor in thinking. The role was in product operations of a fast-moving SaaS startup, where agile delivery, short feedback loops, and quick cycles of release updates were norm. Then I went for grad school at Purdue University which is one of the top supply chain program globally. It deepened my knowledge of data modelling, application of statistical methods in simulation of real word operations problems through coursework, research assistantships, and hands-on project work. Upon graduation, I joined Johnson Controls, Inc, USA, in their rotation program in Operations and Supply Chain which exposed me to HVAC manufacturing, inventory planning and quality governance in a Fortune 500 firm. I came back to India to be part of the India growth story. Having already made my 7-year-old self happy, it felt imperative to keep the 70-year-old self in mind. Currently at Bristlecone, consulting on a national-scale demand planning and S&OP transformation project for a top-3 Indian automotive OEM. Across these experiences, the work that has stayed with me is where structured thinking meets execution, where analysis leads to decisions that get implemented and building relationships that hold together an organization.
