I make SAP S/4HANA
run as a value engine—
not a cost centre.
For 28+ years I have designed, delivered and sustained the SAP backbone of Fortune 500 and regulated manufacturers—across pharma, automotive, iron & steel and FMCG. I connect finance, plant and supply chain into end-to-end value streams that actually move the numbers a CTO is measured on.
Most S/4HANA programs don't fail on technology. They fail on the seams—where finance, plant and supply chain hand off to each other.
CTOs inherit estates where each value stream is run by a different team, a different partner and a different incentive. Closes drag. Promotions leak margin. Interfaces fail silently. Audits become fire-drills. The ERP is treated as a cost to contain rather than a lever to pull.
I work the other side of that. I own the integration—Record-to-Report through Hire-to-Retire—so the template behaves as one system. I bring RPA where humans are doing machine work, governance where change is uncontrolled, and audit-readiness baked in rather than bolted on.
The result your board feels: faster, cleaner closes; lower run-cost; fewer surprises in the audit room; and a roadmap your leadership can actually defend.
Advisory built for the people accountable for the estate.
Engagements are scoped to a CTO's reality: a live business, a fixed budget, a regulator in the room and a team that still has to keep the lights on.
S/4HANA Delivery & Sustain
Full-cycle implementation and continuous improvement of global templates—from design and rollout to post-go-live stabilisation and Material Ledger.
Value-Stream Integration
End-to-end functional and technical integration across the nine streams so the template behaves as one system, not nine silos joined by spreadsheets.
Intelligent Automation
RPA where people do machine work—interface monitoring, smoke testing, OCR invoice capture and reconciliation—released as measurable, recurring cost savings.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
Regulated-manufacturing controls designed in from the start—21CFR Part 11, GDPR and ITGC—so global-customer and agency audits stop being fire-drills.
Infrastructure & Resilience
Data-centre, SDWAN and BCP/DR architecture for multi-site operations—redundancy and security designed at optimised cost, not gold-plated spend.
SAP PMO & Delivery Governance
SAFe Agile delivery, CHARM-controlled change, release and regression management—onshore/offshore scrum teams running on real CI/CD discipline.
Nine streams. One integrated template.
This is the language your business runs on. I have designed, deployed and sustained every one of these on SAP S/4HANA—and, more importantly, the integration between them.
Faster, audit-clean financial close on integrated ledgers and Material Ledger costing.
Planning models wired to live S/4 actuals for decision-grade visibility.
Touchless procurement with OCR invoice capture and GST-ready reconciliation.
Order accuracy and cash velocity across distributed selling channels.
Plant-to-distribution flow tied to real-time WIP and inventory signals.
Asset uptime and maintenance discipline across manufacturing sites.
Promotion spend control and settlement integrated straight to finance.
Demand-to-replenishment alignment that cuts both stock-outs and excess.
Workforce processes from ESS/MSS self-service to time, attendance & access.
A track record measured in closed risk and recovered cost.
RPA monitoring of critical interfaces
Automated IDoc, BODS and POPI interface monitoring across the PepsiCo Global Template—turning a manual watch-task into measurable, recurring savings.
Full-cycle S/4HANA across two countries
End-to-end implementation across 5 company codes and 12 plants in India & the US—GST, Fiori, BIBOJ and Material Ledger, with post-go-live sustain.
Audit-ready data centre estate
Architected a 100+ server, 4-location environment prepared for 21CFR Part 11, GDPR and ITGC audits from agencies and global pharma customers.
Process savings engineered into the plant
A chemical-reutilisation initiative wired into SAP delivered recurring savings of ₹3 lacs every month—process improvement, not procurement squeeze.
Landscape upgrades without downtime drama
Led SAP R/3 EHP0→EHP7 and DB2 9.1→10.5 upgrades while holding 95%+ service availability for 400+ users in a continuous-process steel plant.
Global Template deployed across business units
Partnered with Global Solution Design & Process Owners to roll the PepsiCo Global Template lift-and-shift across business units with full CHARM traceability.

Automation Sprints
Targeted RPA & cost-optimisation engagements that pay for themselves on recurring run-cost.
Implementation, up close.
Much of this work happened on site in the United States — standing up SAP S/4HANA with cross-functional, multi-time-zone teams, running design workshops, and steering go-lives both in the room and on the bridge. A few frames from the field.
