I work on ERP systems and write about what I learn along the way.
I am a program lead at Exponent Energy in Bengaluru. Most of my time goes toward CRM, operations, service, and asset management — figuring out how business processes should map to the systems that support them, and then dealing with what happens when they don’t quite fit.
Before this I spent five years on ERP implementations for automotive and manufacturing clients. I started as a trainee, eventually led projects, and somewhere in the middle got reasonably good at explaining complicated things in simpler terms. Or at least I think I did. The people I work with are too polite to say otherwise.
How I work
- Understand the actual process before proposing the system.
- Keep things simple enough that the next person can follow without a walkthrough.
- Automate the repetitive parts so there is more time for the decisions that need thought.
- Fix the data before building the report.
- Write things down when they seem useful, not when they feel finished.
Now
- Working mainly on ERP systems, system design, and the small process decisions that tend to matter more than they first appear.
- Exploring small improvements to tools I already use, including a few ideas around Frappe.
- Making time for side projects, site work, and newer technologies when I can.
- Trying to be more consistent with notes and with the general business of keeping my own thinking in order.
