• Responsible for Technical Design, Product Development & Delivery of Titan‘s fashion watches cluster – Purple & Mechanical watches cluster – Automatics.• Responsible for end-to-end activities from New collection Briefing to final deposition of watches at assembly units by coordinating with internal (upstream & downstream) & external stakeholders• Ensure projects are delivered by adhering to critical milestones of Stage-Gate approach, agreed lead times, estimated cost & expected quality.• Took over 11 projects at various stages within a year into NPD and rated with A grade for FY20-21.• Active member of NPD Leadtime reduction project through Makigami approach.

• Handpicked amongst the top 7% of the candidates from the entire Titan Group who appeared for YLP Assessment FY19-20. The program is aimed at identifying and mentoring Potential leadership candidates at earlier stages of career followed by accelerated development program and Business projects.• Project 1 - Developed and delivered a complete IIOT system to capture the real time data of six Bismarking machines of Tanishq Jewelry division and calculate accurate OEE values by meeting the customer requirements.• Project 2 - Analyzed and provided comprehensive insights and recommendations on how Watch Case Plant can meet minimum production alignment requirement of 87.5% based on past three years data.

• Responsible for designing and developing solutions to the bottleneck problems and internal customer requirements through machine automation, semi automation, quality & process improvements.• Responsible for horizontal deployment of automation projects after successful completion & trial run.• Prepare Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the established automation projects and conduct knowledge transfer to Maintenance team.• Prepare monthly reports and review projects’ statuses.Key Highlights• Reduced Cycle time in Back Cover Automation project (5.5 sec to 4.1 sec) through analysis and thereby increased production rate/shift from 3400 to 4600 components. Reduced cost of the project by 4 lacs. Installed confidence in the management to increase the BCA project from 2 machines to entire shop.• Designed and developed an innovative new setup for fine adjustment of butting block for doing easy setting in Spring Bar Hole Depth operation through which setting time was reduced by 25%. Quality improvement, human effort reduction, easy takeover of small batch quantities are other benefits of this project.

• Responsible for maintaining 580 machines up & running and restoring the machines under breakdown.• Responsible for carrying out improvements to increase machine production rate, reduce cycle time & setting time, upgrade technology & improve safety.Key Highlights• Took up roles in all the verticals of maintenance – Mechanical, Electrical & Vendor Maintenance.• Entire electrical & control system of 60 machines (Crank, Hydraulic, Friction Presses & SPMs) are upgraded with PLC and HMI in a span of 3 years.

• Responsible for maintaining 580 machines up & running and restoring the machines under breakdown.• To carry out improvements and increase machine productivity, reduce cycle time & setting time, upgrade technology & improve safety.• Designed and implemented ‘Safety Guard’ in all power presses which was first-of-its-kind. Several accidents were averted post implementation of this project.
