About Nihar Patil

I am a Manufacturing Domain Consultant with 12+ years of hands-on experience across industrial equipment, valves, power systems, and large-scale testing environments. My career integrates deep domain knowledge, business analysis, quality assurance, and consulting-oriented solutioning—allowing me to bridge engineering, operations, and IT with equal comfort.Across my career, I have managed full RFx cycles, built product configurators, led proposal management for multimillion-rupee portfolios, implemented ERP modules, and delivered customer-centric solutions across India and global markets. My experience now extends to digital transformation consulting, application optimization, and BA + QA ownership for enterprise software.At Infosys, I contribute across three areas: BA/QA Leadership: Owning end-to-end requirements, UAT, release management, documentation, and stakeholder engagement for a global test-automation and reporting application used across 20+ factories.RFx & Practice Contributions: Supporting strategic RFP pursuits through value-chain analysis, software consolidation opportunities, and domain-based advisory inputs. Knowledge & Initiatives: Driving internal publications (white papers) and unit-level initiatives aligned with Manufacturing Consulting goals.I thrive in roles where business problems need structured thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and outcome-driven execution. My core strength is understanding the business \"why\" behind technology—ensuring that solutions don’t just get delivered, but get adopted and create operational clarity.If you’re interested in digital transformation in manufacturing, test automation, industrial domain solutioning, or application modernization, I’m always open to meaningful conversations.
