About

In my journey through the world of procurement and contracts at TATA Power – DDL, I have found my passion not just in managing resources but also in driving sustainable practices that make a real difference. With a foundation in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology and an MBA from IIM Lucknow, I’ve been fortunate enough to blend technical expertise with strategic thinking to deliver impactful results. One of my proudest moments was leading a dedicated team that enabled TATA Power – DDL to become the first power distribution company to secure ISO 20400 certification. This achievement wasn't just about meeting standards; it was about fostering a culture of sustainability within our operations. Alongside this project, I spearheaded the implementation of a new proposal approval system that boosted our efficiency significantly while ensuring we remain agile in our processes. Prior to my current role as Assistant Manager – Procurement & Contracts, I worked on initiatives that reduced our system Mean Time to Restore (MTTR) by 15%. This improvement not only helped us restore faults faster but also enhanced service reliability for over 2.5 million customers relying on our power supply. Monitoring load and voltage across 85 grids taught me the importance of precision and proactive management in maintaining operational excellence. Beyond work, I'm deeply fascinated by emerging technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and AI-driven solutions. I believe these innovations can transform how we approach procurement strategies and solve complex problems within the energy sector. When I’m not immersed in work-related projects or learning about new tech trends, you might find me engaging with community initiatives focused on sustainable energy practices.
