I completed my B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Surat in 2009. Subsequently, I did the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in International Business from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), Delhi in 2013. I also acquired a Certification in Procurement Processes from Procurement Academy in 2015.

I have two years of work experience as a Software Engineer at Accenture India, and two and a half years of work experience at Tata Steel India as a Procurement Manager.

I happened to stumble upon the CPPP course purely out of chance. My newborn is the reason why I did this course in the first place. During my recent long maternity leave when I was browsing through the internet to get hold of something to read about procurement processes, I landed up on this wonderful website. I immediately logged in and started taking the CPPP. The content was superb as well as the ease of doing it. To my surprise, I even got the soft copy of the certificate issued. Being away from a job for such a long duration can play tricks with one’s professional life but this course came as a relief and lifesaver.

I learn a lot during this process and could utilize my time effectively and efficiently updating my skills and knowledge about procurement processes and its importance in Supply Chain Management. I also got to understand the difference between public and private procurement.

My current job provides me enough exposure to apply the lessons from this course to my life. Despite being from a private organization, it was a good opportunity to know the various aspects of public procurement. I also learn about what improvements can be brought forward by applying these principles. I was amazed to know certain facts i.e. there is no unified National Procurement Policy in our country which leads to corruption and other wrong practices. One can find all sorts of standard documents and prevalent practices while going through this course.

I feel that this is the perfect platform for honing ones skills and showcasing them – a great initiative by procurement learning.
