About

Strategic and data-driven professional with 14+ years of cross-industry experience in inventory, supply chain, category, and vendor management across eCommerce, retail, and technology ecosystems. Currently driving global-scale impact as a Global Inventory & Asset Manager at Amazon, leading initiatives to standardize, optimize, and automate inventory operations across 5000+ sites worldwide. An IIM-Kozhikode Executive MBA and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I specialize in developing data-driven inventory strategies, reducing excess and obsolete stock, and building scalable mechanisms that enable cost optimization, process automation, and operational excellence. Passionate about transforming complex, unstructured processes into scalable and automated solutions through VBA automation, SQL-driven insights, and cross-functional collaboration, I bridge the gap between analytics and strategy to deliver tangible business results. Previously, as a Retail Vendor Manager at Amazon India, I led multiple category programs (SVD, SnS, BxGy, Fresh) and delivered double-digit growth for major global brands. My journey through roles at CrowdANALYTIX, Walmart (via Capgemini), and Foyr has shaped my ability to thrive in both startup agility and global enterprise scale. With a passion for automation, process excellence, and data storytelling, I continuously challenge the status quo - simplifying complexities, mentoring teams, and building frameworks that scale.
