Supply Chain Intern

What You'll Work On

Across B2C, B2B, logistics, warehouse operations, quick commerce, and inventory planning, the intern will contribute to:

Operational data analysis: Working with order, inventory, and logistics data to track performance across the supply chain network and surface patterns worth acting on.SLA & TAT tracking: Monitoring turnaround times and service levels across warehouse and logistics flows, and flagging deviations from target.Warehouse operations exposure: Understanding day-to-day floor operations — inbound, outbound, inventory accuracy — across fulfilment and distribution centres.Inventory planning support: Assisting with demand-supply matching, stock allocation, and distribution planning across nodes.Reporting & dashboards: Building and maintaining reports/dashboards on cost, availability, and efficiency metrics that operations teams use to make decisions.Cross-functional coordination: Working with warehouse, logistics, retail replenishment, and planning teams to help resolve day-to-day operational issues.

Operational Excellence - What We Expect

This internship isn't just about executing tasks — it comes with a standing expectation to bring an operational excellence mindset to everything you touch:

Continuous improvement: Don't just complete a task as given — look for ways to make the underlying process faster, cheaper, or less error-prone, and flag it.Root-cause orientation: When a number looks off or a process breaks, dig into why it happened rather than just reporting that it happened.Process discipline: Document what you find and what you fix clearly enough that someone else could pick it up — improvements should be repeatable, not one-off.Metric ownership: Be comfortable owning a metric end-to-end — tracking it, explaining its movement, and proposing what would move it in the right direction.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a B.Tech graduate or a final year student who thinks in numbers and structure first, and who genuinely wants to understand how physical supply chains work — not just analyze them from a spreadsheet.

Analytical strength: Comfortable with data — able to slice, structure, and interpret numbers, spot patterns, and question them before presenting.Logical, first-principles thinking: Can break down an ambiguous operational problem into its component parts without needing to be told how.Genuine interest in supply chain operations: Curious about how B2C and B2B flows, logistics networks, warehouses, quick commerce, and inventory planning actually function end-to-end.Ownership: Takes a task from raw data to a finished, presentable output without needing constant hand-holding.Communication: Can explain a number, a chart, or a finding clearly to someone who doesn't have the analytical background.

Skills And Tools Exposure

Strong working knowledge of Excel (formulas, pivots); SQL or BigQuery exposure is a strong plusBasic understanding of statistics and logical/quantitative reasoningFamiliarity with dashboarding tools (Metabase, Power BI, or similar) is a plus, not mandatoryExposure to supply chain, logistics, or operations coursework/projects is valuedComfortable working with large, sometimes messy, real-world datasets

What You Will Gain

Direct exposure to how a large-scale, multi-node supply chain network is actually run and measuredHands-on experience with real operational data, metrics, and decision-making — not simulated projectsOwnership of real analyses that feed into leadership-level decisionsCross-functional exposure across logistics, warehouse operations, retail replenishment, and planningA foundation in operational excellence thinking: root-cause analysis, defensible metrics, and structured reporting
