inspection of equipment’s that were made by our vendors, Later I had to go to the site and oversee & complete
the erection & commissioning of Equipment's. When I joined this organization, I realized that the approach
required in this Industry was completely different as earlier I had worked for Coal & Allied material handling MechnoVIT
conveyor & now, I had to work for the Food Industry, which had a very different approach mechanism. I was
blessed enough to work with some of the best role models in the Biscuit Industry who guided me & helped me to
evolve my approach.
