About

I am an engineer by training and a business operator by experience. The combination has shaped how I think about work technical foundation, commercial instinct, and the discipline to make decisions when the answers are not obvious. For eight years I ran two manufacturing units in Surat, India, with a team of seventy people. Every decision what to produce, how to price it, which vendor to negotiate with, which client to retain, which market to enter was mine to make and mine to live with. I learned procurement by negotiating with Reliance and Bhilosa. I learned sales by building a client base across South India from scratch. I learned operations by scaling production by 150% during peak demand. I learned resilience by navigating five major economic disruptions including COVID-19 and a partnership crisis that nearly ended the business. In 2024 I made the deliberate decision to formalise my education. I completed my Global MBA from SP Jain School of Global Management across Singapore and Dubai, graduating in 2026. Two campuses. Multicultural exposure. Strategic frameworks to complement the operational instinct I had already built. During my MBA I worked on two consulting projects that pushed my thinking. The first was designing a Scope 3 emissions compliance framework for ShipServ, a USD 4 billion maritime platform in Singapore covering 73,000 suppliers globally. The second was diagnosing a 62% customer friction issue at Sharjah Co-op in the UAE root cause analysis, AI-driven dashboard, and a strategic recommendation presented directly to C-suite leadership. I also hold a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from NMIMS University and an Advanced Digital Marketing and AI in Marketing certification from MICA Ahmedabad, India's premier communications institution. I am proficient in Power BI, SQL, Python, Advanced Excel, and SAP-equivalent ERP systems. What I bring to a corporate environment is rare. Operational depth from running a real business. Strategic perspective from a top Asian business school. Technical foundation from engineering. And the kind of resilience that only comes from doing all of it under pressure. I am now looking for roles in supply chain, operations, procurement, business development, or strategic planning across Dubai, Singapore, or Bangalore. If you are hiring or know someone who is, I would welcome a conversation. πŸ“ Bangalore, India β€” open to Dubai and Singapore πŸ“§ sarajnmims@gmail.com πŸ“ž +918128252142/+971564772190/+6580536269
