What others say
Niranjan is a highly skilled professional who impressed me with his ability to quickly analyse complex situations and deliver practical solutions. He challenged me to approach problems differently. During contract negotiations, he advised me to consider the needs of various departments — not just procurement. He encouraged a more holistic approach which improved communication within the company. Niranjan also has a true passion for mentoring. He organised a practical workshop where we tested our negotiation skills — the games he made us play were truly innovative and pushed me to think beyond my boundaries.
Niranjan worked directly under me for over 4 years whilst I was CEO of Akrapovic. He is extremely skilled in managing and mitigating supply chain risk, which was critically important during the Covid pandemic. He is able to negotiate complex long-term contracts with suppliers, as well as build and develop relationships with business partners. He has a great ability to adapt quickly to new situations — not just identifying upcoming challenges but also recommending solutions. I think he would add significant value to an organisation looking for a leader to further grow the business.
