About Manjunath Jois

I’m a problem solver who loves blending operations research, data science, and real-world business sense to make things run smoother. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked on optimization models, simulations, and analytics tools that help teams make smarter decisions and keep supply chains moving.I’ve led high-impact projects across tech and defense sectors, and supported supply chain functions that touch both consumer and public service domains. Whether it’s improving planning systems, modeling disruptions, or working across teams to get an idea off the ground, I enjoy turning complex problems into practical solutions.I’m also a big believer in building others up by mentoring, sharing what I know, and making sure the tools I build actually work for the people using them.
