Hariyali Patel
Hariyali Patel is an engineering enthusiast with a knack for turning processes into reality! She is currently balancing the world of getting a Master’s in Engineering Management and part-time work as a tutor for student-athletes at NC State University. Patel kickstarted her adventure at NIVEA India Pvt. Ltd. after earning her undergrad in chemical engineering, where I made my way through the Regional Pilot Plant operations, working on manufacturing process development, cost savings and optimization across diverse product categories.
