Supply Chain Intern

Required Experience

0 - 1 Years

Skills

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 plus

• Basic understanding of statistics and logical/quantitative reasoning

• Familiarity with dashboarding tools (Metabase, Power BI, or similar) is a plus, not mandatory

• Exposure to supply chain, logistics, or operations coursework/projects is valued

• Comfortable 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 measured

• Hands-on experience with real operational data, metrics, and decision-making — not simulated projects

• Ownership of real analyses that feed into leadership-level decisions

• Cross-functional exposure across logistics, warehouse operations, retail replenishment, and planning

• A foundation in operational excellence thinking: root-cause analysis, defensible metrics, and structured reporting

ELIGIBILITY:

• Available for a 6-month internship commitment

• Willing to work from Purplle Head Office, Vikhroli, Mumbai, with occasional site visits to FCs/DCs/dark stores where relevant
