About

A strategic Plant Operations, Maintenance & Utilities Leader with 12+ years in FMCG, food processing, industrial utilities, and digital manufacturing. I specialize in improving plant reliability, reducing downtime, automating processes, and delivering safe, compliant, and high-quality production at scale. My experience spans multi-shift operations, TPM, Lean, HACCP/FSSAI/ISO systems, and AI/IoT-driven automation. I’ve led MES integrations, predictive maintenance programs for Sortex, grinders & utilities, optimized packaging lines, implemented 5S/TQM across plants, and delivered measurable improvements including 18% downtime reduction, 12% uptime improvement, and major cost savings. I’m passionate about building disciplined, high-performance teams and transforming plants into efficient, data-driven, audit-ready operations. Open to Plant Head, Operations Manager, and Maintenance/Utilities Leadership roles in India or abroad — ready to relocate and contribute to large-scale operational excellence.
