// 01 — WHO AM I

Hey, I'm Preyan.
Good to have you here.

I'm a Chemical Engineer turned Procurement Professional — and yes, that's an unusual combination, but it's one I'm genuinely proud of. My engineering background gave me something most buyers don't have: the ability to actually understand what I'm sourcing, not just process the paperwork around it.

Over the last 4+ years, I've worked across renewable energy and EPC projects — handling everything from complex global imports to supplier onboarding, spend analysis, and cost negotiations. I've contributed to projects like the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link and currently drive procurement operations at Gurit Wind Private Limited in Chennai.

Numbers I'm proud of: 30–35% cost savings through strategic sourcing, 15% energy cost reduction, and 25% savings on import compliance — not on paper, but delivered in real operations with real stakes.

Outside of work, I've been quietly learning web development as a passion project — this very site was built from scratch, one line of code at a time. Turns out writing code and negotiating contracts aren't that different. Both need precision, patience, and knowing when to push harder.

I'm based in Chennai and open to roles in procurement, supply chain, and strategic sourcing — especially in renewable energy, infrastructure, or global operations.

MAY 2024 — PRESENT
GURIT WIND PRIVATE LIMITED
// INDIRECT BUYER · CHENNAI

Currently managing CAPEX and OPEX procurement across Gurit's global sites — executing the full P2P cycle from purchase orders through to vendor payments. The focus is always on finding where costs can be reduced without compromising on quality or compliance.

I built spend analysis tools using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Advanced Excel that now generate monthly spend cube reports used by leadership for forecasting. I also led a green energy cost reduction project with NUS Direct that brought energy costs down by 15%.

Beyond the numbers, I work as an SME on digital procurement transformation — bringing agile thinking into what has traditionally been a slow-moving function.

TREMCO CPG (INDIA) PVT LTD
// PURCHASE EXECUTIVE · CHENNAI

This is where I built my foundation. I handled direct and indirect procurement end to end — raw materials, packaging, CAPEX — and learned fast that the difference between a good buyer and a great one is how well you understand the supplier's side of the table.

I led procurement for the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link EPC project — one of India's largest infrastructure undertakings — managing global imports of critical waterproofing materials for L&T. Tight deadlines, high stakes, and a lot learned.

Maintained vendor records in SAP HANA, conducted supplier audits, and saved the company 25% in import-related penalties through proactive compliance management.
