About Rakesh Bhorkade

From semiconductor chips to superbike parts, I’ve hunted, bought, and delivered them so teams can build, sell, and grow.I’m a sourcing and procurement specialist with practical roots — started in a small parts shop, now orchestrating vendor portfolios for a global bank. My path runs through MEL Services (electronic components), Eaton (VAVE cost-outs), Kawasaki (NPI localisation), Flextronics (high-volume EMS) and, today, UBS (IT sourcing). Different products, same mission: secure supply, fair price, smooth process. Day-to-day you’ll find me• Mapping demand with planners and designers• Negotiating contracts that protect cost and flexibility• Using real-time dashboards to flag risk before it shows up at the dock• Coaching vendors on quality fixes and on-time habits• Chasing every hidden cost — freight, duty, excess inventory Wins I’m proud of 12 % average cost relief on key PCBA categories at Flextronics 100 % on-time launch of localised chassis parts at Kawasaki Zero audit findings on compliance in my current UBS portfolioBeyond numbers, I value honest conversations, clear action lists, Keen to swap notes on sourcing tech, new supplier markets, or career moves? Let’s talk.
