I lead with impact, and I build supply chains that perform under pressure, scale with precision, and transform the bottom line.With over 21 years of cross-industry experience, I currently serve as General Manager – E2E Supply Chain at Kishlay Group, where I drive integrated strategy across logistics, procurement, warehousing, and demand planning. My role is not just operational—it’s transformational.

Recent outcomes include a 2% reduction in secondary logistics costs and enterprise-wide adoption of TMS, IoT, and telematics technologies.At Dabur India Limited, I led large-scale process modernization across the FMCG value chain. By enhancing storage efficiency by 85% and boosting kitting productivity by 35%, I optimized throughput while reducing working capital and operational waste. I streamlined AOP inventory planning, eliminated stockouts, and strengthened vendor performance and procurement partnerships across Modern Trade, General Trade, and E-Commerce channels.Across my 8-year tenure at Mahindra Logistics, I managed full P&L ownership, drove strategic sourcing, and led Six Sigma-based continuous improvement programs. My leadership was recognized with over a dozen industry and organizational awards, including the MD & CEO Awards for Operational Excellence and Safety, Star Manager of the Year (FY19, FY20, FY22), CII Silver in Low-Cost Automation, and QCFI Bronze in SMED. I successfully executed and mentored multiple Green and Yellow Belt projects, embedding a culture of operational discipline and measurable outcomes.Certified in Six Sigma (Green & Yellow Belt), IMS & BRCGS auditing, and trained in Harvard Manage Mentor leadership practices, I’m also upskilling in Data Science, AI & Machine Learning from INSAID and IIT Roorkee.
