About

As Head of IT at Pagariya Food Products, I lead technology with a clear mandate to drive operational control, scalability, and data-led decision making across the organisation. I own the end-to-end technology landscape spanning ERP, manufacturing systems, enterprise applications, and infrastructure. My focus is on building a system-driven operating model that eliminates manual dependencies, improves data integrity, and brings real-time visibility into core business functions. Over the years, I have evolved from deep infrastructure and network management into leading enterprise systems and business-critical platforms. This foundation allows me to operate across both legacy and modern environments while driving structured transformation aligned to business realities. In my current role, I am focused on stabilising and scaling core systems under live conditions, enforcing process discipline across functions, and ensuring that technology adoption translates into measurable business outcomes. I work closely with leadership to align technology priorities with operational and financial goals. I also drive governance, vendor strategy, and cost optimisation, ensuring accountability and long-term sustainability of the technology landscape. Building high-ownership teams and creating execution discipline remains central to my approach. With 13+ years of experience, I bring a pragmatic, execution-first mindset to technology leadership, positioning IT not as a support function, but as a key lever for efficiency, control, and growth.
