WORK HISTORY
Deputy Manager- Global Logistics @ESAB
Chennai, IN
As Deputy Manager – Global Logistics at ESAB India Ltd, I lead a team focused on optimizing freight operations and delivering significant cost savings for our global sites. I’ve successfully driven initiatives like developing an AI model for accurate freight cost prediction, which has enabled us to strategically plan our full container load (FCL) shipments. Through strategic negotiations and a deep understanding of global logistics, I’ve managed to secure over USD 4.86 million in savings for our 2024 projects, surpassing our initial budget projections. My role also involves collaborating with international supply chain leaders and supporting ESAB’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programs, including efforts to reduce Scope 3 carbon emissions.Before this role, I served as a Freight Analyst on the Global Freight Team, where I provided critical analytical support that informed our freight strategy across multiple regions. My work in forecasting freight costs, executing RFPs, and benchmarking freight spend helped drive savings and operational efficiency, particularly in the ESAB Europe market. I played a pivotal role in integrating AI into our freight forecasting processes, which enhanced our ability to predict costs and optimize logistics operations globally.
