Category Founder@Wheelocity
I’m looking for a #CategoryFounder.
Not a Category Manager.
I’m looking for someone to build one of India’s most important Fresh businesses, inside Wheelocity.
This is NOT a typical procurement, merchandising or ‘sourcing & margins’ role. You’ll own an entire business.
For context, Wheelocity serves #Rural India through a network of mobile commerce hubs across 5000 villages. Every day, we solve one simple but incredibly hard problem:
"How do we make high-quality products available, affordable and profitable in villages?"
I’m looking for someone who wants to obsess over that problem. Someone who wakes up thinking about questions like:
- Can we redesign the fresh produce supply chain?
- Can we reduce waste without reducing availability?
- Can we source & merchandise differently?
- Can we build new propositions that villagers actually love?
- Can we build a category engine that is impossible to replicate?
You’ll own revenue, margins, inventory, sourcing strategy, merchandising, supplier relationships and category innovation.
More importantly, you’ll help build the operating system that will eventually power this business across Bharat.
I’m NOT looking for someone who wants to maintain a category. I’m looking for someone who wants to build one.
#FormerFounders, early builders, category entrepreneurs, agri entrepreneurs, fresh food operators, modern retail merchants, quick commerce category leaders :: if you’ve spent your career building rather than maintaining, I’d love to talk.
Location: Bangalore / Trichy (significant ground presence expected).
If this sounds like you, or you know someone who’d be exceptional : attached is a doc about who we are, the role, and the application process!
