About

I am a dynamic and results-driven Supply Chain and Logistics Operations Specialist with nearly 6 years of cross-continental experience spanning Europe and India. My expertise lies in optimizing end-to-end logistics, procurement, and supply chain operations to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and drive sustainable performance improvements. Currently at IKEA Purchasing Services (Warsaw, Poland), I lead logistics operations across multiple European markets — ensuring 99% on-time delivery, driving cost control, and improving process reliability. As a Superuser and Project Lead for the IKEA Transport Management (ITM) system, I’ve delivered measurable improvements in efficiency, data visibility, and deviation control. Previously, I managed transport planning and vendor performance at IKEA India, where I implemented Just-in-Time workflows and Lean systems, reducing overhead and improving operational continuity. My tenure at Automotive Axles & Meritor HVSIL strengthened my foundation in procurement, packaging innovation, and supplier development — achieving ₹5 Lakhs in annual cost savings through sustainable packaging redesign. Recognized as Best Employee and 5S Champion for three consecutive years, I bring a blend of analytical rigor, stakeholder engagement, and cross-cultural communication. With multilingual fluency (English, German, Polish) and eligibility to work across Europe, Australia, and the UAE, I am committed to advancing global supply chain excellence through strategic sourcing, digital transformation, and continuous improvement.
