About

Currently enrolled in the PGP Program at IIM Bangalore, I am driven by a strong interest in innovation and a desire to make meaningful contributions to the business sector. This program is strategically chosen to enhance my strategic thinking and leadership skills, thereby equipping me for impactful roles within forward-thinking organizations. During a summer internship at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, I gained practical experience in sales and marketing. This role provided valuable insights into consumer behavior, competitive analysis, and the intricacies of sales operations across both rural and urban general trade environments, encompassing a diverse product portfolio and the entire distribution chain. Previously, as a Mechanical Maintenance Manager at Reliance Industries Limited, I contributed to the operational excellence of the Jamnagar refinery. Over a two-year period, I managed mechanical assets and oversaw major shutdown events at the Jamnagar SEZ and Dahej plants. My responsibilities included optimizing equipment performance, ensuring adherence to safety regulations, and implementing strategic recommendations to enhance operational efficiency. With a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), I offer a blend of technical expertise and leadership experience. My experience at RIL, combined with the academic rigor of IIM Bangalore, has prepared me for strategic roles where I can drive innovation, optimize operations, and contribute to sustained organizational growth. I am keen to apply my operational background and business strategy knowledge to achieve tangible results in my future professional pursuits.
