About

Steering the distribution planning at Air Liquide with an MBA in International Business, my role is pivotal in ensuring the seamless sourcing and delivery of gases, especially to critical sectors. Our success hinges on a well-orchestrated supply chain, where I apply my expertise in logistics and supply chain management to meet urgent demands and facilitate smooth transactions between suppliers and customers. Drawing from over six years of dedicated service at Air Liquide, and prior experience at Corbus India Pvt. Ltd. for General Electric Aviation and Cairn India, my mission is to drive efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We've established a robust distribution network, where my strategic demand forecasting and adept supplier coordination have played crucial roles in reducing delinquencies and achieving a harmonious balance between demand and supply.
