As a Business Management Intern with the Retail Planning division, I conducted in-depth analysis and formulated data-backed strategies to optimize the discounting processes for the Allen Solly brand across exclusive store outlets.Designed an insightful automation dashboard to track monthly KPI performance metrics for dynamic and proactive decision-making. Conducting extensive market research through large-scale customer surveys, I identified improvement areas and revenue leakage points arising from the current discounting approaches. Leveraging analytics, I strategized an enhanced calendar of seasonal promotions and tactically targeted offers to attract new customer segments, leading to the launch of a 20% off pilot campaign.Additionally, my cross-functional engagement with store, marketing and sales teams implementing corrective markdowns minimized inaccurate discounting and built greater alignment. With process improvements and the automation , I increased efficiency by over 80% for key retail planning activities. My analysis-to-execution discounted optimization project helped capture growth opportunities and reduced revenue erosion by strategically lowering discounts by 2.6%.Key Skills Demonstrated: Data Analytics, Process Efficiency, Market Research, Cross-functional Collaboration, Strategic Decision Making

As a Junior Engineer at Sumangal Agro Industries, a poultry feed manufacturing plant, I monitored end-to-end plant operations encompassing machinery efficiency, process loss prevention, inventory control and team supervision. Working closely with the Plant Manager, who oversaw engineering functions, I conducted rigorous analysis of production line data, identifying bottlenecks and opportunities to maximize yield. Implementing targeted equipment maintenance and strategically planning spare part purchases, I averted annual losses equal to 1.25% of output value. Additionally, through cross-functional engagement with vendor partners, I renegotiated annual maintenance contracts, securing 38% savings in spares and upkeep costs. Leading a team of 15 operators, I developed key performance metrics and set production targets aligned to client specifications and demand trends. My hands-on involvement in aligning engineering performance to business outcomes delivered process stability, minimized wastage and nurtured a culture of optimization.By leveraging analytical thinking and a methodical approach, I consistently enhanced plant efficiency parameters to enable uninterrupted, quality feeds supply to clients.Key Skills Demonstrated: Operational Excellence, Cost Control, Vendor Management, Team Leadership, Quality Focus

As an Engineer Intern with the Process Improvement and Project Management team, I conceptualized and operationalized a diesel hose selection system for the Bolero vehicle assembly line. This initiative was focused on eliminating operator errors through mistake-proofing mechanisms (Poka Yoke Methodology).Under the mentorship of the Sr. Manager, I leveraged Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing principles to design process flows minimizing quality defects. After vendor collaboration and fabrication alignment, I successfully installed the system comprising automated dies and jigs for diesel hose connections.The system upgrade prevented assembly line rework, enhancing plant efficiency. My end-to-end project ownership from conceptual design to vendor management helped avert losses equal to 1.3 lakhs in annual value. Further, by optimizing manufacturing quality protocols, I contributed to Mahindra's quality commitment for customers.This internship allowed me to apply engineering concepts while developing solutions that target root causes of industrial issues through data-backed validation. I also had the opportunity to hone analytical, vendor collaboration and change management abilities while driving production excellence.Key Skills Demonstrated: Quality Control, Process Improvement, Manufacturing Efficiency, Analytical Problem Solving, Vendor Management
