Most people talk about finance and tech. Few talk about how they actually affect decisions. I share insights on: • Cash flow (the real profit) • Insurance (risk people ignore) • Markets (without noise) • AI & automation (beyond hype) • Consumer tech (what actually adds value) Everything I post comes from an operator’s lens — not theory, not screenshots, not gyaan. If you like practical thinking over trending noise, you’ll like my content here. With a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a strong academic record (8.79 CGPA), I have always been passionate about problem-solving and optimization. My interest in process efficiency and strategic thinking led me to explore the world of procurement and supply chain management, where I found the perfect blend of analytical rigor and relationship-building. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve honed my skills across diverse industries including technology, automobile, and infrastructure. At Benepik, I led procurement operations, vendor onboarding, and catalogue management for 500+ SKUs-contributing to a 40% product expansion and a 4.79% cost reduction. At GoMechanic, I managed end-to-end sourcing for 5,000+ spare parts, driving a 6% cost improvement across North India operations. My journey began at Punj Lloyd, where I was responsible for procurement planning, maintenance oversight, and vendor evaluation on large-scale infrastructure projects. Each role sharpened my expertise in strategic sourcing, cost optimization, vendor negotiations, and cross-functional coordination. Looking ahead, I aim to transition into a strategic procurement leadership role in a growth-focused organization. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to scale vendor ecosystems, implement data-driven procurement strategies, and drive sustainable value across the supply chain. I am always open to networking, learning from industry peers, and exploring new opportunities that align with my vision for growth and innovation.
