Having a rich experience of over 20 years across diverse industries with proven competencies in end to end management of the functions of import, procurement, vendor development. Had extensive exposure in steering the imports of raw materials with cost advantages and ensuring timely delivery of materials to the sites by managing the operational requirements including floating enquiries, offer evaluation & commercial terms, negotiation, issuance of purchase orders, coordination for customs clearance with clearing agent after dispatch, etc. My expertise lies in spearheading commercial functioning and facilitating time bound procurements through excellence in service delivery and operational support. I have demonstrated abilities in inventory tracking and planning, vendor development, negotiating win-win deals for cost advantages, finalizing and settling bills, which includes remittances of foreign payments through letter of credits and bills of CHA & freight forwarders and arranging for insurance of materials by being involved in cross functional coordination activities. As a strategic planner, I have demonstrated abilities in implementing cost saving measures and cutting the overall costs of imports by achieving desired operational efficiencies and fixing the loopholes with proactive remedial measures. I am always interested in new avenues and interactions.
