Pradeep Gangadharan Nair — Operations Associate
📦 28 years moving goods faster, safer, cheaper—from icy Ladakh airstrips to 18k-order e-commerce floors. Curious how? 👀 I grew up in the Indian Air Force supply depots, where missing a flight wasn’t an option and every nut-bolt had a story to tell. That spirit still guides me in retail, 3PL and tech-driven fulfilment today. What I do • Shorten turnaround time ⏱️. • Protect the bottom line 💸—saved ₹17.8 L by ditching paper, trimmed FC costs 25 %, kept stock-outs in check. • Open new revenue taps 📈—lifted 3PL income 54 % in 60 days; added 12 % contract value at Flipkart Wholesale. • Keep teams mission-ready 🤝—built warehouses from bare floors, led 139-member crews, trained civilians and airmen alike. • Stay audit-steady ✅—ISO 9001-2015 lead auditor, MBA in Supply Chain & TQM. Why it matters - Goods must land on the right shelf, at the right time, for the right cost. I spot the hidden loops, plug the leaks and give people clear processes backed by sensible tech. The goal is simple: happier customers, calmer teams, healthier P&Ls. I work best where complexity, compliance and customer promise meet. My tools are Excel models, floor walks, open conversations and a belief that small daily fixes beat grand speeches. Next stop I am looking to partner with brands that value clean data, clear metrics and straight talk. If you need a steady hand for large-scale operations or a coffee chat on ERP pitfalls, let’s connect. ☕🔗 Exploring roles or projects in supply chain strategy, digital rollouts or audit readiness.
