PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
ITC LIMITED, GUNTUR | AGRI BUSINESS DIVISION - SPICES [MAY ’16 - JUL ’16]
Designed end to end solution: collaborated with Quality, Marketing and Engineering teams to propose a blueprint
for ITC’s first cleaning facility for Food Safe Cumin; capital cost worth INR 7 crores
 Identified key issues and bottlenecks in the existing supply chain and operations through lean
enterprising techniques like Value Stream Mapping
 Designed experiments to analyze and investigate the raw material for differences in properties
APPROACH
 Collaborated with leading vendors to characterize and scope the seed cleaning technologies
 Conducted VED (Vital, Essential, Desirable) analysis for making the best technology selections;
quantified settings for optimum use of machines
 Facilitated capacity expansion by 23% and established cleaning efficiency of the system to 99.5%
RESULTS  Achieved 100% removal of allergens and noxious weeds (otherwise difficult to detect):
diminished the possibility of shipment call-backs
HINDUSTAN UNILEVER LIMITED, BANGALORE | RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT [MAY ’15 - JUN ’15]
Developed a robust mass transfer model qualitatively and quantitatively inter-relating the various physical and
chemical properties of tea granules; useful to the research team for developing superior and evolved products
 Performed a comprehensive literature survey on bulk density, hydration and infusions of tea
 Investigated changes in bulk density of tea particles with respect to change in their size
APPROACH
 Presented in-depth analysis of the correlations between infusion rates and bulk densities of tea
 Established numerical framework for developing rate constants of mass transfer processes
RESULTS  Received a Letter of Recommendation from the R&D Director for exemplary contributions
