I'm an international student from India with a freshly minted MBA from the UK, and I'm excited to embark on the next chapter of my career journey. My professional experience spans across diverse roles, from Project Co-Ordinator to General Manager, and I bring a wealth of skills and insights to the table. After a brief hiatus, I am excited to rekindle my passion for the pharmaceutical industry. With a solid foundation in pharmaceutical operations, project management, and compliance, I am poised to contribute my expertise to this dynamic and critical sector once again.

My work experience is a testament to my dedication and expertise in various roles. As a Project Coordinator and General Manager at Ajinkya Fire Protection Services, I excelled in optimizing supply chain processes, skillfully negotiating contracts, leading teams, and efficiently managing financial resources. During my tenure as an Executive at Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, I focused on enhancing operational efficiency, conducting in-depth root cause analyses, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My leadership was particularly evident in managing high-value equipment procurement projects, where I successfully led cross-functional teams to ensure timely project delivery while maintaining strict financial discipline. These experiences have honed my skills in project management, problem-solving, and compliance, making me well-prepared for the challenges of future roles.

I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Strathclyde Business School in Glasgow, Scotland, with a graduation date in September 2023. This advanced degree has equipped me with comprehensive knowledge and skills in business management and administration, enhancing my ability to strategize and lead in professional settings.

Furthermore, I earned a Bachelor of Technology degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology from the prestigious Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai, India, graduating in June 2018. This educational background has provided me with a strong foundation in pharmaceutical sciences and technology, enabling me to understand and navigate the intricacies of the pharmaceutical industry effectively. It complements my MBA education, allowing me to bring a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen to my professional endeavors.
