Cover Letter:
I hold an MSc in Chemistry and have hands-on experience in analytical testing, water and effluent analysis, and quality assessment of food-grade materials like tea and spices.
My exposure includes detailed analysis of wastewater and effluents (BOD, COD, TSS, heavy metals), municipal solid waste (Bulk density, total carbon, potassium, volatile and non-volatile matter, heavy metals), Alum, Urea fertilizer, as well as quality evaluation of food products such as tea, spices, and condiments (moisture, ash content, crude fiber, and more). I am also proficient in assessing a wide range of water quality parameters, combining theoretical knowledge with practical application in regulated lab environments.
I thrive in fast-paced, quality-driven settings and am deeply motivated to contribute my expertise to a company like Maithili Life sciences. I see this opportunity as the ideal platform to grow professionally while delivering meaningful contributions to your QC and R&D initiatives.
