About Praveen Kumar

I’m a seasoned supply chain professional with deep expertise in replenishment, inventory planning, procurement, and logistics, driving operational excellence across quick commerce, e-commerce, and startup ecosystems. As AVP of Inventory and Procurement at IB MonotaRO, I lead initiatives to optimize supply chains, deploy automated purchase order systems, and boost profitability through data-driven forecasting and cost reduction. At Blinkit, I honed inventory strategies for perishables in the quick commerce domain, slashing waste and enhancing product availability with advanced forecasting models and a hub-and-spoke distribution framework. I’ve cultivated robust vendor partnerships, pioneered flexible procurement approaches like Sale or Return, and championed supply chain automation across India and Indonesia to elevate efficiency. From co-founding Farhom—a rapid-delivery platform for fresh produce—to streamlining logistics for government exams at BAI Infosolutions, I thrive on building operations from the ground up and leading high-impact teams. I’m fueled by a passion for leveraging analytics, strategic sourcing, and innovative distribution to revolutionize supply chains and create value in dynamic, fast-paced settings like quick commerce. Let’s connect to spark innovation and drive impact together!
