One Minute Manager

Yogesh Sarin, Director – Supply Chain, South Asia, Dell

What has been your passion project till date?

Several of them but most interesting were around end-to-end supply chain management of partners in contract manufacturing and 3PL, which was both challenging & satisfying. It started with contract negotiations, selection & onboarding, evolved with collaboration and relationship management through engaging technology-led performance management operations. Driving continual positive customer experience as an outcome is aways a rewarding experience.

How do you unwind yourself after a tough day @ work?

I am naturally a morning person, so preparation for any day starts with a disciplined fitness regime that rejuvenates body & mind and allows to shift focus away from work pressures ahead. Unwinding for me is spending quality time with loved ones.

How do you manage the pressure and the challenge that comes with the job?

I strongly believe that supply chain is recommended for passionate professionals seeking reasonable adventure and not scared of uncertainties. With that as a personality trait, you would get your kick with ease without anything appearing as challenge.
