Utsav Parashar

I am a results-driven Supply Chain & Operations Leader with 14+ years of experience building, transforming, and leading large-scale logistics, procurement, and operations across FMCG, export-import, and defense sectors. My career spans high-growth corporate environments and mission-critical operations, giving me a unique ability to operate effectively in both commercially driven and highly regulated ecosystems.

Currently, I lead end-to-end supply chain and export-import operations, where I have delivered significant cost optimization, inventory rationalization, and service-level improvements through strategic sourcing, supplier governance, and digital enablement (SAP, WMS). I am particularly passionate about creating resilient, compliant, and future-ready supply chains that balance efficiency with risk management.

Earlier, in senior leadership roles with the Indian Air Force, I managed high-value infrastructure and logistics programs (₹300+ Cr), led teams of up to 5,000 personnel, and executed operations in some of the most complex and challenging environments. These experiences strengthened my capabilities in operational governance, business continuity, stakeholder leadership, and execution excellence under pressure.

I bring together strategic thinking, disciplined execution, and people leadership, with a strong foundation in MBA – Logistics & Supply Chain Management (IIM Lucknow) and certifications including PMP and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. I am motivated by building scalable systems, developing high-performing teams, and driving sustainable business impact.
