About Gaurav Puppala

Having always been fascinated with problem solving, I developed a keen interest towards product management and corporate strategy.I hold an MBA from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade and an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from COEP Technological University, providing me with a solid foundation in both business and technical knowledge. I secured national level positions in multiple corporate case competitions held by Samsung, Microsoft etc, which is a testament to my passion for problem solving and ability to think critically and strategically.During my MBA program, I completed a two-month internship at JSW One, a B2B e-commerce startup in its very early stages as part of the product and category team. I was then offered a full-time position post outstanding performance.My extensive experience as a Project Manager at Suzuki has given me a deep understanding of the automobile industry and plant operations. I had the opportunity to lead installation projects in the greenfield plant while handling new product development processes for upcoming car models.
