Nancy Gaikwad

I've led supply chain, procurement, and import-export operations at Voestalpine High Performance Metals India, managing global suppliers across Europe, the USA, and Asia. I established and operated a Private Bonded Warehouse integrated with SAP ERP, improving inventory visibility, enabling duty deferment, supporting cash-flow optimisation, and increasing export flexibility. I've strengthened supplier performance through vendor onboarding, evaluation, KPI alignment, contract negotiation, freight optimisation, and dispatch planning. I also maintained supply continuity during geopolitical disruptions through shipment diversions and expedited clearances. With 17+ years across mining, metals, and manufacturing, I bring hands-on DGFT, BIS, Customs, audit, credit control, and risk-management experience to build compliant, cost-efficient supply chains.
