SKILLS

Strong background and experience in Research & Development, Product Development,

Project Management.

Strong experience and knowledge of Quality Systems such as QS 9001, TS 16949, TS

16025. Strong technical support skills.

Highly motivated with high degree of integration with good communication skills.

Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma skills and experience.

Skills and experience in project management to research, design and develop a project for

commercial applications.

Strong customer technical service skills.

Specific R&D

1986 1990 – New SiO2 manufacturing process using nano particle surface modification in

ion exchange solvent extraction reaction to produce a very high surface

area products of SiO2. This resulted in products with exceptional

properties. This helped company to bring out new chemical products

in the market.

1991 2000 – New processes to extract metal values of ultra high purity from various

spent sources using ion exchange solvent extraction and

electrochemical winning process. This resulted in several new

processes for production of high purity Zn, Cr, Ni, Fe products.

New bearing steel processes and products.

2001 2008 – New steel products for cold heading, suspension spring, bearing

Industry.

New processes to improve product quality with shorter cycle time. This resulted in several

patents.

Project Management Experience

1986 – 2009 – Managed below mentioned projects successfully. All these projects

were started as R&D projects on the lab scale and finally resulted in

commercial production.

1. High purity, ultra high surface area SiO2 products.

2. High purity ZnO from galvanizing spent using multi stage ion exchange extraction.

3. High purity CrSO4 and NiSO4 from electroplating spent using multistage ion exchange

extraction.

4. Development of new bearing steel with high tensile and soft core.

5. High tensile, high ductility steel for spring steel.

5. Boron grade steel for suspension spring application.

6. New steel annealing processes for 52 different grades. This saved

up to 50% cycle time and improved quality.

7. New ground breaking annealing process where the cycle time is

reduced by 95%.

Quality – TS 16949, QS 9001, TS 16949, TS 16025 standards.
