About Chandra Prabhaharc
10+ years of juggling upstream to downstream of supply chain processes across Automotive, Manufacturing and Consulting industries – and thriving through it all. Whether crafting commodity strategy, carving supplier relationships, strategizing multi-million-dollar negotiations, optimizing global supply chain or solving procurement puzzles- I’m the go getter determined to make things happen. Supply chains may be complex, but my passion for simplifying them runs deep.Took a break at the 7th year of professional journey, to pursue in full-time my MBA that taught me two things: un-learning is as crucial as learning, and resilience is key (especially during surprise exams or preparing presentations for surprise meetings).When I’m not geeking out over processes, you’ll find me humming Carnatic tunes, hunting down the new (veggie) food joints, or pounding the pavement for an endurance run. Let’s connect if you’re into any of these—or if you want to talk supply chain’s latest trends while sharing food recommendations!
