The Venture Thesis & Market Bottleneck

Structural Thesis:

High-efficacy, clinically validated botanical sleep and metabolic health formulations with direct sourcing from certified regenerative farms in Kerala and Himachal.

The Financial Bleed:

Most modern D2C wellness brands suffer 55%+ customer churn due to poor bio-availability, unreliable contract manufacturing batches, and inconsistent raw herb potency.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • 6+ years in FMCG / D2C supply chain, contract manufacturing auditing, and 3PL fulfillment.
  • Familiarity with FSSAI regulations, cold storage logistics, and inventory working capital optimization.
  • Obsessive focus on unit economics and margin preservation at scale.

Core Day-1 Responsibilities

  • Establish OEM/ODM contract manufacturing agreements with GMP-certified units.
  • Set up warehouse integration, reverse logistics management, and delivery SLAs (<48h in top 10 metros).
  • Manage procurement, packaging design execution, and raw ingredient batch consistency.
