Palani K.

With 12+ years of experience in product development and engineering project management, I specialize in driving end-to-end execution, supplier coordination, and global project delivery. Currently at HCL Technologies, I manage multiple international projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams across different time zones, including extensive support for US operations.

Previously at Roots Group, I successfully developed 200+ molds with China-based suppliers while working remotely from India. I handled complete project execution including scheduling, technical reviews, tooling trials, sample approvals, and mold dispatches, ensuring on-time delivery and quality compliance.

My expertise includes plastics, sheet metal, tooling, APQP, RFQ to PPAP processes, mold flow analysis, and manufacturing coordination. I am known for my proactive follow-up, strong execution mindset, and ability to resolve technical and supplier issues efficiently.

Key strengths include:

* End-to-end product development & industrialization
* Global supplier and factory coordination
* Engineering project execution & risk management
* Remote collaboration across international time zones
* Strong problem-solving and communication skills

I hold extensive hands-on experience in managing complex engineering projects with a practical, responsive, and results-driven approach.
