Hi! My name is Debasis Bandyopadhyay. Welcome to my page Procurement Gyan. Starting my career in 2005, I have nearly two decades of experience in Strategic Sourcing, Vendor Development & Supply Chain Management. As per my opinion procurement itself is a very exciting as well as a challenging job. Being a procurement professional the main challenge of your role is managing both of your internal & external stakeholders at a time. Another challenge is procuring material by following “5 Rs of Procurement” (Right Quality, Right Quantity, Right Place, Right Time, and Right Price for goods and services). When we purchase a product or service, we are participating in a global supply chain. This network includes all the organizations, processes, and activities—from raw material extraction to final delivery. Any small geopolitical issues can significantly impact the procurement strategies by disrupting supply chains, altering costs, and creating uncertainties in sourcing and supplier reliability
