Procurement Manager | Healthcare Operations | Vendor Management | OB-GYN & IVF

About

17 years of experience; the first 9 in B2B business development and commercial operations across industrial sectors, the last 8 building procurement and operations systems for a specialized OB-GYN & IVF healthcare facility. I own end-to-end procurement for the facility; pharmaceuticals, medical consumables, equipment, IT systems, and facility supplies, on a budget of ₹50L–2Cr annually, reporting directly to the MD. When I took this on, inventory wastage was running at 50%. Stock outs were frequent. There was no formal vendor structure, no reorder system, no rate contracts. I built all of it. Wastage is now at 5%, a 90% reduction. Procurement costs are down 10–15%. AMCs are in place for equipment. Vendors are consolidated per category with competitive quotation processes as standard. Pharma and equipment procurement now run on their own; I monitor rather than intervene. My deepest expertise is in hospital consumables, the category that bleeds money fastest when left unmanaged. Beyond procurement, I manage a 100-person workforce, recruited 100+ healthcare professionals, and run payroll and HR administration for the facility. I'm relocating to Bangalore and open to Procurement Manager roles in any field particularly facilities where procurement is currently informal and needs to be built into a system and maintained.
