Harshit Mehrotra

I am a Certified International Procurement Manager (CIPM & CIPP) with 14 years of diverse professional experience, including over 8 years of specialized expertise in Indirect Procurement and Packaging Development within the manufacturing sector, and a strong foundational background in banking relationship management. Holding an MBA in Marketing and Finance, I excel at driving business excellence through strategic sourcing, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) optimization, product re-engineering, and sustainable vendor ecosystems. A results-oriented leader, I am passionate about transforming supply chain functions into high-value creation groups that consistently deliver cost savings, operational efficiency, and cross-functional success.

In this senior leadership role, I direct the end-to-end procurement, inventory management, and packaging development functions, overseeing allocated budgets and capital expenditure (CAPEX) procurement from RFQ to final sourcing recommendations. I lead cross-functional supply chain operations—including inbound/outbound logistics and production scheduling—to ensure seamless material availability through Just-in-Time delivery. A core focus of my responsibility involves driving strategic vendor management, executing sharp commercial negotiations, and utilizing SAP MM to evaluate supplier competitiveness via structured scorecards.

Dynamically balancing cost and quality, I successfully spearheaded the re-engineering and launch of a sustainable packaging line utilizing eco-friendly materials, which optimized packing costs and secured an 11% reduction in material expenses. Additionally, by mapping vehicle demand patterns against low-demand periods and executing rigorous transportation price-discovery, I streamlined material imports and logistics to deliver a 14% reduction in overall transit costs
