Was instrumental in procuring a few thousand oxygen concentrators in a span of 30 days for the govt. of Rajasthan, various NGOs and medical institutes to help India increase its oxygen capacity to overcome the Second wave of Covid. The challenge was to scout for factories in China which had the raw material to produce such large quantities in a short span, quality evaluation of the products and bringing it by air to India all in a force majeure situation. The value of the procurements was about 1.5 million USD. The entire activity was done remotely without physical intervention and coordination.
