Strategic procurement.
Stronger supply chains.
Better leaders.

I've spent three decades in procurement and supply chain — and the last ten teaching it. I turn that experience into practical strategy, stronger supplier partnerships and more confident professionals.

Experience that moves
from strategy to execution.

I don't just teach supply chain—I've lived it.

I started as a procurement engineer and worked my way to General Manager. That route means I bring an operator's judgement and an educator's clarity to every conversation.

Core expertise

Practical solutions for
real supply-chain challenges.

Four areas where I spend my time — on the shop floor, across the negotiating table and in the classroom.

01

Procurement & Sourcing

I build category strategies that hold up under real conditions, balancing cost, risk and continuity of supply.

  • Category strategy
  • Strategic sourcing
  • Cost leadership
02

Negotiation & Supplier Management

I negotiate agreements both sides can live with, then build the supplier relationships that keep them working.

  • Vendor development
  • SRM
  • Commercial negotiation
03

Supply Chain Strategy

I connect planning, inventory and operations so the network responds to change instead of reacting to it.

  • Demand planning
  • Inventory
  • Operations
04

Training & Certification

I teach working professionals the judgement that certification syllabi assume but rarely explain.

  • IPSCMI
  • ASCM (CPIM)
  • ISM India
