DEEPAK RAGHAV

Starategic sourcing specialist (NPI) @ VVDN Technologies

About

I am a result-oriented Supply Chain professional with a unique blend of technical engineering expertise and strategic management insights. Currently, I lead procurement initiatives within the Vision Proto team at VVDN Technologies, focusing on the critical transition of complex electronic products from design to mass production. With a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering and a recently completed MBA in Supply Chain Management from NMIMS, I bridge the gap between technical Bill of Materials (BOM) complexity and commercial viability. My focus is on ensuring that cutting-edge vision products are not only innovative but also cost-optimized and supply-chain resilient. Core Areas of Expertise: NPI Procurement: Driving end-to-end sourcing for New Product Introduction cycles. Strategic Sourcing: Managing global vendors and electronics component ecosystems. Financial Optimization: Technical BOM costing, RFx management, and "Design-to-Cost" strategies. Supply Chain Planning: Expertise in S&OP, Demand Planning, and Inventory Optimization. Technical Literacy: Leveraging my ECE background to evaluate semiconductors, PCBA assemblies, and vision hardware. I thrive on solving the "supply chain puzzle" for next-gen technologies—ensuring speed-to-market without compromising on cost or quality.
