Summary

Strategic, Bangalore-based Supply Chain Manager with years of experience optimizing procurement, vendor development, and end-to-end supply chain operations for aerospace manufacturers. As Supply Chain Manager at OPTIMARE INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED and a Council Member of the Aerospace Council (WICCI), I blend hands-on aircraft maintenance training and aeronautics education with advanced supply-chain expertise to deliver compliant, cost-effective solutions. Certified in AS9100 internal auditing, ISO 45001, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and PMP, I drive supplier performance improvements, process reengineering, and risk-mitigated sourcing strategies that reduce lead times and improve quality. I also host a podcast and regularly speak on industry panels, sharing practical insights on supply-chain transformation — available for consultancy engagements to help organizations streamline operations, enhance supplier ecosystems, and achieve operational excellence.
