Sushant Mundhe — Operations Associate

I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate from IIT Roorkee, currently working as Manager – Finishing & Dispatch at Tata Steel, Kalinganagar, with prior experience as a Management Technical Trainee. My professional journey has evolved from hands-on engineering and robotics to driving operations, analytics, and decision-making at scale. During my time at IIT Roorkee, I actively pursued my passion for robotics and automotive design, serving as Joint Secretary and Technical Head of ASME IITR. I led and contributed to award-winning projects and competitions including: 🏅 Best B.Tech Project Award – Developed a T-SNE & ELM-based bearing failure prognosis system (team of 4). 🌊 SAUVC 2024 (Singapore) – Ranked 8th internationally. served as Mechanical Lead & Vice-Captain. 🥇 Gold Medal – Inter IIT Tech Meet 12.0 – Designed a telescopic shaft mechanism for slurry tank inspection as Team Lead. 🥈 Silver Medal – Inter IIT Tech Meet 11.0– For the Human Powered Vehicle design paper. 🥉 3rd Place – Rowboatics, Techfest 2022 IIT Bombay – Team of 3 in underwater robotics challenge. 📜 Prime Minister's Scholarship Scheme Recipient At Tata Steel, I’ve contributed to cross-functional projects including: Ramp-Up Time Reduction in Batch Annealing Furnace (CRM, Jamshedpur) using the DMAIC approach, Excel, and Tableau — resulting in 12,000 TPA productivity gain (~₹2.5 Cr/year). Current role involves managing 50+ team members, coordinating dispatches, vendor handling, production planning, and interdepartmental collaboration. Going forward, I aim to leverage my operational expertise and analytical mindset in management and data-driven roles. I'm currently upskilling in data analytics, visualization, and digital transformation tools to drive process efficiency and decision-making in industrial and business environments. I believe in continuous learning, cross-domain thinking, and taking initiative — and I'm now looking to explore challenging roles at the intersection of operations, strategy, and analytics.
