About

A career shaped by operating experience.

My career at Air India brought experience across procurement, supply chains, supplier relationships, governance and digital transformation.

Working in a complex aviation environment shaped my understanding of how decisions, accountability and execution influence business performance.

Today, as Founder & CEO of GagnaPro Solutions, I am building on that experience in a new chapter.
