Seasoned Chemical Process Engineer| 9+ Years | FOAK & Pilot Plants → Commercial Scale | Shell · Haldor Topsoe · SABIC · IOCL · BPCL · TATA Steel · CADILA Pharmaceuticals I help deep-tech startups and mid-tier chemical companies get their process design right the first time, from conceptual flowsheet to commissioning-ready engineering package. If you're building a novel process or any first-of-a-kind plant, the engineering decisions made in months 1–6 determine whether you hit your cost target or rebuild at demo scale. I've done this work for companies like Shell, Haldor Topsoe, SABIC, TATA Steel, Indian Oil Corporation, and Bharat Petroleum, and I bring the same rigour to startups without the EPC overhead. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO I WORK BEST WITH Deep-tech and climate-tech startups at seed to Series B who need credible process engineering without hiring a full in-house team.

I help supplement and pharma brands launch FDA & GMP compliant products — without the risks, recalls, and costly reformulations that come from working with consultants who only know theory. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ ⚕️ PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION ★ Core Expertise ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ ▸ Tablet Formulation — Standard, Fast-Dissolving, Non-Effervescent, Chewable, Coated ▸ Capsule, Gummy, Softgel & Liquid Dosage Forms ▸ Lyophilization (Freeze-Drying) Protocol Development ▸ Peptide & Sterile Product Formulation ▸ Cosmetic & Personal Care Product Development ▸ Pilot Plant to Commercial Scale-Up ▸ Master Formula Records & Batch Manufacturing Records ◆ REAL CLIENT RESULT: A supplement company needed R&D support across Ayurvedic and diabetes product lines — ongoing research, formulation, and development support. → 1,501 hours of expert execution over 2+ years → Client: "Very experienced.
