Demand planning that shows its working.
I'm Vinayak Bhadani, a demand planner in Dubai. I plan 100K+ units a month across the China–MENA–GCC corridor, and I build the models I plan with — every tool and article on this site is mine, and the commit history is public.

What I actually do
- Demand planning — statistical baselines, seasonality that survives a moving Ramadan, category–month accuracy targets
- S&OP — running the monthly cadence as a decision forum, not a reporting meeting
- Inventory — safety stock, reorder points, multi-echelon trade-offs against working capital
- Logistics & 3PL — China–MENA lanes, Red Sea rerouting math, air-vs-sea cost calls
- Systems — SAP, Odoo, Dubai Trade Platform, Power BI
- Building — Python forecasting, ETL pipelines, and the 15+ planning tools on this site
