About Samita

I am a Supply chain & Operations professional and I help growing companies streamline their operations, strengthen & scale their supply chain. With 14+ years of experience across FMCG, consulting, and manufacturing, I specialize in optimizing end‑to‑end processes, improving delivery speed, and designing operating models that unlock measurable performance gains. I dive deep into data, map real operational bottlenecks, and build practical solutions that teams can adopt quickly. My background leading multi‑site supply chains (13 plants, 20 warehouses) and driving transformation programs at PwC and Accenture with hands on experience allows me to bring both structure and speed to every engagement.

Some of the projects that I support are:
- Supply chain diagnostics, process & cost optimization
- Operating model redesign and workflow standardization
- Inventory, planning, and logistics improvement
- Digital enablement (SAP APO, SaaS tools, no‑code workflows)
- Transformation roadmaps and implementation support
- KPI frameworks, dashboards, and decision‑support tools
- Cross‑functional team coaching and capability building

If you need a partner who can quickly understand your operations, identify high‑impact opportunities, and deliver scalable, sustainable improvements, I’d be glad to support your project.
