About Pratik Mestha

As a Procurement Manager at VEGROW, I leverage my 8+ years of experience in procurement to drive cost reduction, improve supplier relationships, and enhance inventory management. I have successfully reduced the cost of packaging materials and capital items by 8-9 Lakhs per month, maintained prices of raw materials below market price, and onboarded new vendors to reduce lead time and prices. I also manage inventory without stockouts, ensuring smooth operations. Previously, I worked as an Asst Manager (Procurement) at InI Farms Pvt Ltd, where I discovered profitable suppliers, negotiated with external vendors, approved orders, finalized purchase details, examined and tested existing contracts, and performed risk management for supply contracts and agreements. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration from Mumbai University, both with a focus on Marketing. I am skilled in project estimation, cost reduction, and vendor negotiation.
