“Working Capital Isn’t a Finance Problem — It’s an Operations Opportunity”
For many manufacturing businesses, crores are locked in places they shouldn’t be:
-
Inventory that’s aging, unsegmented, or slow-moving
-
Receivables stuck due to delays in invoicing or follow-ups
-
Unfavorable supplier terms and disconnected procurement planning
-
Capital inefficiencies across plants and product lines
Most of these aren't caused by finance policies — they stem from planning gaps, misaligned processes, and invisible leakages.
With over 30 years of experience across operations, supply chain, and commercial functions, I help manufacturers unlock working capital through practical, execution-ready interventions — not just ratio monitoring or theoretical models.
