Factory KaMaal - Placements

About the company - Factory KaMaal is a B2B e-commerce platform for industrial products. Essentially, a 1-stop-shop for all standardized factory supplies. Currently, the market is highly fragmented, unorganized and inefficient. By organizing the supply base, the customers receive better service quality, improved lead times and better product pricing due to the scale and online presence of a new-age and modern distributor. 

Such models are popular globally with Grainger (a Fortune 500 company) being the market leader but having a very limited presence in India. The Indian market is very nascent and has recently seen a few players replicate the Grainger model. Industry Buying is one such player and in Feb 2015 raised USD 2mn. in VC funding

Profile Description -  We have an Operations Role available at present -
  1. Operations Role - 
    • Landscaping the supplier base and identifying unique opportunities 
    • Developing a vendor acquisition strategy 
    • Identification and creation of a strong vendor base
    • Creating SLAs for all vendors
    • Vendor on-boarding and hand-holding
    • Defining SOPs for order placements
    • Category management and cataloging
    • Logistics, warehousing and supply chain management

Pay Scale - Initially, this will not be comparable to industry standards but is performance linked and will increase significantly for dedicated people.

End Note - An opportunity at a startup is incomparable to a run-of-the-mill internship at large corporates wherein the students play a very small role in the larger scheme of things. As we all know, the Indian startup ecosystem is booming with the likes of Flipkart, Zomato, Ola, Snapdeal etc. gaining strong traction. Here lies an opportunity for students to be part of building the next big startup - along the likes of Flipkart but in the B2B space, which is currently untapped. Students that are motivated, self-driven and are hungry to learn would find this job to be the ideal opportunity to get exposed to the real world and hone their business and technical skills.
