and maintenance categories for multiple hostel properties

- Manage vendor relationships and conduct periodic performance reviews (quality, delivery timelines,

compliance)
- Set up and maintain procurement SOPs, approval workflows, and inventory/reorder systems across properties
- Coordinate with property/hostel managers to forecast demand and prevent stock-outs or overstocking
- Ensure compliance with FSSAI, safety, and other statutory requirements for food and facility-related purchases
- Track procurement budgets, generate cost reports, and identify savings opportunities
