Amandeep Kaur, Specialist in Commercial Strategies, Procurement & Global Supply Chain, Fluor Daniel

To be a part of the fast-growing and competitive business world, a woman needs to adapt to change and exploit any opportunity that comes her way. My passion for work, a strong sense of commitment, and quest for learning, led me to embrace all the roles I was given and to give them my best.

I have understood how vital supply chain management is for a successful project execution.

When I started my career in the Automobile industry with Bajaj Auto Ltd - the world’s fourth-largest two-wheeler manufacturer, I was the only woman in the purchase department of the company’s Pantnagar Plant. My responsibilities included expediting purchase orders, overseeing logistics, material planning, vendor selection, and checking the quality of the products received. I gained substantial knowledge of the supply chain cycle and manufacturing processes, and also the confidence to lead in a male-led industry.
