If not me, who? If not now, when?"- These words have always helped me to take major decisions in my career. After graduating as a production engineer from NIT Calicut, I started my career as a buyer for sheet metal parts in procurement division of commercial vehicles department at TATA Motors. Being a fortune 500 company, TATA Motors helped me attain great professional growth and development. After spending almost two years in strategic sourcing, I decided to become a student again to learn more about the functioning of businesses. Global Business Management program at Humber gave me exposure to a wide spectrum of business functions. I tapped into opportunities and gave myself exposure to a lot of new stuff, mainly through volunteering and mentorship. I gained customer service experience, supply chain/warehouse experience through part-time jobs while I did the program. I am currently pursuing my masters in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson). What defines me?

Values and passion: Building win-win relationships, fitness, mountain biking, wearable technology. Verve: Defuse tense situations and keep the team focused on results, Decision maker.
