About
Sudip Malakar
Principal, Malakar Consulting
17+ years running global supply chain, sourcing and procurement for automotive, industrial and power-electronics OEM programs — $1.58B in managed spend, $128.5M in delivered savings, and a habit of publishing the research behind the work.
End-to-end supply chain, from planning to delivery
I run supply chain the way the numbers actually move — planning, sourcing, inventory and delivery as one connected system, not four separate handoffs. Across electrified powertrain, power electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing, that's meant rebuilding S&OP processes to 90%+ forecast accuracy, relocating sourcing under real crisis timing, and recovering margin that inflation had quietly transferred to suppliers.
I publish the research behind that work — sourced, cited, and grounded in real events — because the same public-data method that flags a prospect's exposure before we talk is the method I use to run the diagnostic once we do.
