// 01 About

More than a
procurement professional.

I build supply chains that never break. With 5+ years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, vendor management, and logistics optimisation — primarily within the Cosmetics & Beauty domain — I've consistently delivered outcomes that matter.

From Esthetic Insights to V Cosmetic Crafters to my current role at BTM Ventures managing the Dóveriye premium brand — every role has been defined by measurable results, zero audit findings, and supplier relationships built on trust.

Great procurement isn't just about buying cheaper. It's about engineering supply chains that create competitive advantage.

"Scoped the problem. Built the system. Shipped it to production. Solo."
180+ Batches Tracked Live
6 Stakeholders Alerted Weekly
100% Excel Tracking Eliminated
0 Manual Interventions Post-Deploy

Before EXPIRION — expired raw materials were found too late in the warehouse, tracking was 100% manual Excel, and there was zero visibility on stock value at risk. I identified this gap, scoped the requirements, and built a production GMP batch management dashboard connected live to Zoho Inventory via API. Every Monday at 09:00 IST, EXPIRION automatically dispatches a staged alert email to Admin, QA and Procurement — showing exactly which batches are Expired, Under 1 Month, 1–3 Months or Safe. Role-based access ensures each team sees only what they need. Built and deployed solo, without a development team, using AI-assisted implementation.
