About me

I am Tamilmani, a senior supply chain and business transformation leader with over 30 years of proven success in the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.

With deep expertise in profit centre operations, international logistics, low-cost country sourcing, and stakeholder management, I’ve driven large-scale business transformations—scaling revenues from ₹100 Cr to ₹630 Cr and volumes from 5,000 MTPA to 45,000 MTPA. I’ve led greenfield projects, streamlined S&OP, and pioneered bulk solvent imports through Vizag port. My leadership is grounded in strategic thinking, operational excellence, and delivering sustainable business value.
