RiseToLead

“I intend to create a resilient supply chain that will help realise our company’s long-term aspirational volumes” – Pavan Kumar

The Mahindra Group presents the #RiseToLead series, in which our leaders share their personal stories of challenges, growth, and success, as well as some valuable lessons on leadership. We hope it inspires our young audiences, who are raring to make their mark in the professional world.

“When I joined Mahindra in August 2005, little did I know that what lay ahead was an incredible Rise journey. M&M is truly a great place to work. Its culture always lets me explore and experiment,” says Pavan Kumar.

“I’ve been shaped by strong leaders in the 20-year career that helped me pursue exciting roles in strategy, sales, purchase, and supply chain. They provided me with a sense of vision and purpose and taught me to set the agenda, prioritise, manage, lead, delegate, and inspire.

As head of Supply Chain and Production Planning for the Auto Sector, I lead an incredible team that has been working relentlessly to ramp up volumes post-Covid. I intend to create a resilient supply chain that will help realise our company’s long-term aspirational volumes. I am innately curious, accept challenges, adapt quickly and wield influence that drives positive change.

My message to future leaders is to be passionate but, more importantly, compassionate. I feel glad to be a part of the Mahindra Future Shapers cohort for the tremendous learning, networking, and growth opportunities it offers.”
