About Amit Sahoo

Born and raised in Odisha, my journey has been shaped by a strong academic foundation, an analytical mindset, and a passion for problem-solving. Graduating from IIT Kharagpur in Civil Engineering, I explored diverse domains from data science and machine learning to procurement and supply chain management.Starting my career at Ola and Foodpanda, I gained hands-on experience in analytics and supply chain dynamics before transitioning to ONGC as a Material Management Officer. Here, I spearheaded procurement strategies, contract management, and cost-saving initiatives, contributing to operational efficiencies in the energy sector. Managing large-scale projects, vendor collaborations, and regulatory frameworks has equipped me with a unique perspective on both public and private sector operations.Beyond work, I am an avid sports enthusiast, photographer, and guitarist. I enjoy intellectual discussions on business, policy, and sustainability, constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow.Now, as I embark on my MBA journey at IIM Bangalore from March 2025, I aim to refine my leadership and strategic thinking skills, transitioning into management consulting or a senior strategic role in the energy sector. I am driven by a vision to contribute to sustainable energy transitions and business transformation.Always open to meaningful conversations and collaborations - let’s connect!
