A career built on expertise
25+ years across mill operations, quality, safety and business improvement — now available for board, consulting and international leadership mandates.
I am a pulp and paper technologist and quality professional whose career has been built in operating environments where safety, consistency, cost and production continuity must work together.
My core expertise was forged over 23 years at Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited and Hindustan Newsprint Limited — managing pulp mill operations, quality control, and safety systems across plants in Assam and Kerala.
Since 2019 I have brought that operating discipline to MSMEs and assignments in plastics, engineering, water treatment, railways and transport. My approach combines TQM, Lean Six Sigma, structured problem solving and management-system thinking with practical implementation alongside the client team.
I am an IIT Roorkee alumnus (B.E. Wood Science & Pulp and Paper Technology), a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and an IMS internal auditor. I welcome independent director and advisory mandates, project-based consulting, and suitable pulp-and-paper or quality leadership roles outside India.
