Before co-founding the company, he worked on large-scale procurement technology projects for Fortune 500 organizations, gaining direct insight into where enterprise software succeeds - and where it breaks under real operating conditions.
That experience continues to shape SAFAL's product direction. Under his leadership, SAFAL has evolved from an E-Auction capability into a full AI-powered Source-to-Pay suite while retaining the operational depth and implementation discipline that defined the company from the beginning.
He leads SAFAL's strategy, product direction, and client engagement model, with continued involvement in major implementations to ensure the platform remains connected to real enterprise procurement needs.

His experience spans enterprise procurement sales and operational procurement across Oil & Gas, EPC, Chemicals, Manufacturing, and Hospitality. That market understanding helps SAFAL distinguish between what industrial enterprises need and what generic software often offers.
The relationships he has built across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman continue to Strenghten SAFAL's market positioning, product priorities, and long-term enterprise engagements.
