About

I love to build something from scratch. I create, evaluate and improve businesses. To make it happen, I plan, organize, and oversee the execution of a project from initiation to completion. About Me: I have handled different positions within Automotive and Renewable Industries where my major focus is to source products through value mapping. Being the country head, I now look after the complete operations in India to scale up businesses with an innovative approach. Why Me? • Customer Oriented Approach - I always see the product and process from a customer point of view which helps to enhance the services offered. • Accountability - I delegate the work to the right individuals and then make it happen by supporting them. • Make it right - I do fail but I make sure to deep dive into the reason for the failure and I come back stronger. What difference I can make? • Being a public speaker, I prefer approaching customers with storytelling. • With a mindset of win-win even in difficult negotiations. • I always aim to arrest the problem before it occurs. My key skills are. • Global Sourcing. • Strategic Negations. • Customer and Supplier relationship management. I am not a complete person. But have an eagerness to learn and incorporate the improvements continuously. I love building new connections. If you have similar interests, then do not forget to click "Connect".
