Decathlon sports india

Production Leader - Supply Chain

Jul 2011Dec 2011 · 5 mos · Chennai Area, India

  • I was fortunate to be a part of Decathlon Sports (Oxylane) which also happened to be my very first job. I was charged with leading the Supply Chain of Decathlon's swimwear brand. I managed 2 finished good suppliers who had factories in Madurai and Bengaluru respectively. I also worked closely with raw material distributors from Vietnam, China, Sri Lanka and Tunisia. Even though my stint at Decathlon was shortlived it continues to be one of my most enriching experiences and I am glad I was able to learn so much about supply chain which happens to be one of my most favorite areas of interest.
