Your story - career summary to date

I started my career in Fosroc in the Technology function in Bangalore. Spent initial four years as Development Manager involving product development activities, visiting Fosroc opcos for new product introduction. Following this, moved laterally into New Product Process management as IPS Manager (IPS – Innovation Project System) under Technology function and spent around four years managing and leading this for the group. In line with my career aspiration to move into a commercial role, Fosroc provided me the opportunity to elevate myself as Group Sourcing Manager under Global Supply Chain function in October 2012. In summary, my background was technical and then moved into business process management and finally promoted into a commercial role within a span of nine years.
