What You'll Do

You'll work on high-impact projects across different parts of the business depending on your strengths, interests and business priorities.

You could find yourself solving questions like:

• How can we improve inventory availability without significantly increasing working capital?
• Why is a particular marketplace/category growing faster than another?
• How can we improve forecasting accuracy across thousands of SKUs and channels?
• Which business processes can be automated or simplified?
• Where should we deploy the next rupee of investment to generate maximum impact?
• How can data help us identify a business problem before it becomes visible?

And then you'll be expected to help implement the answer , not just present it.

• Translate analysis into practical business recommendations.

What We're Looking For

• B.Tech/B.E. graduate from an IIT or other premier engineering institution.
• Fresher or up to 1 year of experience.
• Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving ability.
• Ability to structure ambiguous problems rather than wait for perfectly defined questions.
• Comfort working with data and numbers.
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; knowledge of SQL, Python, Power BI or similar analytical tools would be an advantage.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Ability to simplify complex analysis and communicate it to business stakeholders.
