Skills: Supply Chain Management Logistics Operations Business Analytics Procurement Vendor Management Solution Design & Support Export & Import Functions Training & Development MIS & Reporting It’s been close to two decades in the industry since I took my first steps as a native professional in the Procurement department. With an Economics background and a certification in Strategic Sourcing I carved my niche in the field of Supply Chain Management wherein ample opportunities taught me the nuances of the industry and paved my way in establishing myself as a leader in Supply Chain Logistics, Process Management and Solution Management. With my early stint as procurement professional with names like Panasonic, Denso and LG Electronics I got the opportunity to execute what I had learnt behind the academic walls. Fear has never intimidated me and during my career also every challenge came as a stepping stone for me to tread ahead. It was in Nov 2003 that my association with IKEA Trading India Pvt Ltd in Gurgaon as an Executive for Shipping & Export Transport, In 2010 moved to Sweden as a Business Analyst (Purchase Development for Cost Simulation ),User kick-started with management of areas like logistics, export operations, supplier relationship management, training, coordination and MIS reporting.

My USP lies in adapting to new changes and acquiring new skills, which I have impeccably reflected in my current role as a Solution Owner at Sweden for IKEA, taking care of Free Range online,Free Range product request and Qlikview. As a solution delivery owner my role is to create a full-proof solution roadmap while managing key stakeholders and targeting solution compliance which includes business development, release management, life cycle management and operation (run of the solutions).
