Complex Operations, Clearer Decisions

I am a Supply Chain & Logistics Transformation professional with 7+ years of experience across FMCG, automotive and transportation environments in Canada and India.

At Mondelēz International, I lead the OTIF performance-management workstream for the relevant Canadian transportation scope. Carrier-level root-cause analysis, corrective-action governance and cross-functional alignment helped improve annual OTIF from 83.3% to 94.5%. In June 2026, OTIF reached 97.8%, the highest across Mondelēz business units globally.

My current work also covers multi-round carrier sourcing, regional portfolio recommendations, LTL-versus-FTL economics, freight-audit exceptions, Uber Freight TMS adoption and analytics. Earlier, I supported WMS and smart-warehouse improvement, MES, SAP and IoT-enabled Supply Chain 4.0 work, plus YMS-related yard-flow processes at Daimler, and managed 60,000+ Ford service parts at a 99% fill rate.

In parallel, I co-founded EXPENIQ, where I turn customer problems into product requirements, governed workflows and release decisions. It is a product-building chapter that complements, rather than replaces, my supply-chain career.

Building the business-record operating system behind Canada’s builders

EXPENIQ is a private-beta Canadian business-record platform for self-employed people and small businesses building one venture or several.

It brings the record side of those ventures into one connected workspace: expenses, income, receipts and supporting context, GST/HST, vehicle records, workspace costs, capital assets, review items, month close and accountant handoff.

Sanitized EXPENIQ dashboard showing record quality, review, monthly overview and accountant-handoff workflows
Authentic product interface shown with identifying information and transaction details excluded.
Why we started
We started with a belief: every person should be free to turn a skill, passion or second chance into something valuable, one business or several, without administration becoming another full-time job.

EXPENIQ exists to reduce the record-keeping friction behind entrepreneurship so Canada’s builders can spend more of their energy building.

The customer problem

Capable people carry too much disconnected operational detail.

Self-employed people often operate through disconnected spreadsheets, receipt folders, mileage apps, camera rolls and year-end reconstruction.

The problem is not a lack of ambition. The problem is the operational friction created by the records behind it.

The product system

One connected record journey

Designed around the complete record journey, not one isolated feature.

My role

Co-Founder and Product Builder

  • Canadian business-record domain modelling
  • Multi-venture product architecture
  • UX and workflow direction
  • AI-assisted product-development governance

  • Brand, storytelling and launch strategy

I apply the same systems thinking I used in global operations: map the complete flow, identify where information and accountability break down, create visibility and improve the system through small, evidence-backed changes.

Principles for useful, trustworthy systems

AI should accelerate judgment, not replace it.

AI can increase research and execution speed. Important product, security, privacy, tax-domain and release decisions still require evidence and accountable human review.

Trust is architecture.

In financial-record software, security, privacy, customer-data separation, truthful language, review gates and recovery paths are product requirements, not launch-day additions.

Design the lifecycle, not the isolated screen.

A useful product connects capture, classification, documentation, review, close and handoff rather than optimizing one attractive feature in isolation.

Make uncertainty visible.

Unknown, incomplete or review-needed information should remain explicit. The interface should never invent tax certainty to create a prettier experience.

Evidence compounds.

Small, documented and reviewable decisions make each future improvement safer, faster and easier to understand.

The goal is not to make software appear intelligent. The goal is to build a system that becomes more useful, trustworthy and extensible because the way it is built compounds.

Transportation Performance
OTIF Performance Leadership — Canada
Led the OTIF performance-management workstream across the relevant Canadian transportation scope, using carrier-level analysis and operating governance to turn service failures into clear corrective actions.
ProblemRecurring service failures required consistent definitions, carrier accountability and faster cross-functional action.
WorkCarrier-level root-cause analysis, corrective-action governance, KPI alignment and working sessions across carriers, operations, transportation leadership and service teams.
AttributionAdithhya led the performance-management workstream; the broader organization collectively delivered the operating result.
Outcome
83.3% → 94.5% annual OTIF · 97.8% in June 2026, highest across Mondelēz BUs globally
Transportation Sourcing
Carrier Portfolio Optimization — Canada
Sanitized decision-support work for building a cost-effective, service-conscious and resilient carrier portfolio across a geographically large, multimodal network.
ProblemBalance cost, service, capacity and resilience across regional lanes, operating requirements and carrier options.
ApproachMulti-round RFP analysis, lane-level benchmarking, incumbent-versus-bid comparison, savings modelling, modal economics and carrier-performance assessment.
DecisionsCost · service · capacity · geography · mode · lane fit · historical performance · primary/secondary coverage.
ModesFTL/TL · LTL · intermodal · rail where applicable · reefer · dry.
Outcome
Evidence for carrier awards, commercial discussions and portfolio recommendations
Decision Support POC
Proactive Shipment-Risk Control Tower
A sanitized, rules-based proof of concept that turns shipment and external-risk signals into explainable, prioritized exceptions. It supports human decisions; it is not a deployed autonomous or predictive-AI platform.
TMS shipment data→CRDD comparison→Destination geolocation→Hourly weather→Explainable risk rules→Prioritized output
ProblemOperational teams need a consistent way to identify shipment risk early and focus attention on the exceptions that matter most.
Current useException management, early risk identification, carrier prioritization, workflow triage and resilience.
RoadmapHistorical lane and carrier learning, ETA-risk probability and ML-based prediction only after sufficient governed evidence exists.
Current value
Explainable risk prioritization · Human-reviewed operational decisions
