Q1. Could you start by giving us a brief overview of your professional journey, particularly focusing on how your experience across consulting and supply chain leadership has shaped your views on digital transformation and sustainability?

I have about 25 years of experience. I began my career primarily in manufacturing, working on the field side, before transitioning into technology and consulting. My consulting experience spans both process and technology consulting, and I have worked extensively across these domains.

My work has taken me across the globe and into multiple industry verticals.

I have worked with many Fortune 500 clients, as well as prominent Indian companies in FMCG, manufacturing, retail, poultry, high tech, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.
