My educational qualifications include Masters in Management Studies with specialization in Marketing from Mumbai University’s Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute of Management Studies & Research and I hold Bachelor of Engineering degree with specialization in Electronics & Telecommunications from Mumbai University’s K.

I have over 6 years of working experience and am currently working with Ernst & Young LLP where I am consulting Government of Maharashtra on Smart City & State-wide e-procurement Transformation projects. Previously I was associated with Accenture Management Consulting where I was responsible for enabling CIDCO procure eGov related services. Prior to Accenture, I was associated with CMC Ltd. where I was involved in Business Development in large private & public sector accounts.

My procurement related education involves taking up of a course in Hieman – Miller’s LAMP and World Bank’s Certificate Program in Public Procurement apart from the subjects covered during my MMS

I took up CPPP before taking up my State-wide eProcurement Transformation for Government of Maharahstra. I took up the course from a perspective of understanding Public Procurement end-to-end – so that I do not miss any component while delivering the assignment.

Being a part of the State-wide eProcurement Transformation project, I am already committed to professionalizing public procurement within the State of Maharashtra by designing a state-of-art eProcurement system and charting key components for accelerating adoption of the new system within the State

For any individual; not just a professional, who is getting exposed to public procurement for the first time, it is a must to take up this course as it gives a detailed run-down on all aspects of public procurement
