About

I am writing to express my interest in a senior leadership role in Procurement and Supply Chain Management within your esteemed organization. With over 26 years of progressive experience across infrastructure, FMCG, engineering, and power sectors, I bring a wealth of expertise in strategic sourcing, logistics, inventory control, and vendor management, backed by a strong foundation in ERP-SAP systems and Six Sigma methodologies. In my current role as Category Procurement Head at GR Infraprojects Ltd., I manage procurement operations worth ₹1000 Cr annually, covering diverse categories such as Civil BOQ, Electricals, T&D, and Railway materials. My strategic approach to sourcing and vendor negotiations has consistently ensured timely project execution and cost optimization. Previously, at Patanjali Ayurved Ltd., I led PAN India procurement and dispatch logistics, achieving significant cost savings through rate contracts and process automation. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a consistent ability to lead cross-functional teams, implement process improvements, and drive operational excellence. My academic background in Production Engineering and an MBA in Materials & Supply Chain Management, coupled with certifications in Six Sigma and regulatory compliance (FSSAI, WHO, BRC), further strengthen my capability to contribute effectively to your organization’s goals.
