## About

Supply Chain & Strategic Sourcing professional with 8\+ years of end\-to\-end experience spanning supplier program management, strategic procurement, logistics operations, and APAC/EMEA supply chain development\. Currently at Caterpillar India Engineering Solutions, I lead APAC supplier program management for Returns operations — managing cross\-functional teams, coordinating 3PL carriers across EMEA and APAC, and driving supply chain strategy through TMS data management and SAP\-EWM BOL/BOM tracing\. I've delivered cumulative cost savings of $1\.2M across two strategic supply chain projects through TCO analysis, process redesign, and vendor engagement\. My career spans high\-impact roles at Moglix, where I scaled supply base operations across South India, standardized end\-to\-end logistics flows \(inbound, outbound, GRN, ASN, POD\), and led RFx\-based supplier selection for PTL/FTL and reverse logistics partners — and TVS Supply Chain Solutions, where I managed transporter networks and built SOPs for process training and development\. I bring hands\-on expertise in: 🔹 Supplier Assessment & Performance Management 🔹 Strategic Sourcing \| RFx \| TCO Analysis 🔹 SAP EWM/WMS/MM \| Oracle TM \| Power BI 🔹 Lean Six Sigma — Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping 🔹 3PL/Carrier Management \| CAPEX/OPEX Analysis 🔹 Data Migration & CRM\-SPM Systems 🔹 Cross\-functional Team Leadership I thrive at the intersection of data\-driven decision\-making and people\-led supply chain execution — whether that's negotiating vendor contracts, building dashboards for KPI visibility, or deploying process improvements that stick\. Open to connecting with supply chain leaders, procurement professionals, and organizations driving operational excellence across global supply networks
