About

As a Senior Merchandise Planner at Mumzworld.com, I leverage my skills and experience in demand planning, business analysis, and data visualization to optimize inventory, sales, and customer satisfaction for the leading online retailer of mother and baby products in the Middle East. I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from RV College Of Engineering, Bangalore , India where I learned the fundamentals of operations research, supply chain management and quality control. Some of my key achievements include maintaining optimal stock levels of 18 days using the ARS system, increasing business by 6% during Black Friday by managing out-of-stock situations, reducing shipment time from 40 to 20 days for UAE to KSA bulk orders, and achieving a remarkable 4-fold sales growth by strategically placing products near customers in KSA. I enjoy collaborating with cross functional teams, adapting to changing market conditions, and aligning my strategies with the organizational goals and vision. I am passionate about delivering insightful and impactful solutions that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the e-commerce business.
