Overview

A Leader who believes in Managing Change & Managing Growth. I look at the Total Cost of Ownership and devise my sourcing process to derive the maximum. Capital item buying remains my forte (have been handling Raw Material/ Civil/ Mechanical/ Electrical items/ Spares & their related contracts). Have exposure to both domestic & International Procurement processes. I am customer eccentric (both internal & external) and strongly believe in giving my heart out to bringing-in complete satisfaction to their needs (this is where the money comes from). I follow my dreams & strongly believe in excellence through focus, ideation, activation and hard work. In these challenging times, I am capable of pivoting & wearing different hats. My Goal is to make my Department a World-class Learning Organization & bring-in Innovative products/ processes to improve the total efficiency of Buying & Operations.
