Our Mission
Democratising internet commerce for everyone - Meesho started with a single idea in mind: to be an e-commerce destination for the next billion Indian consumers and enable small businesses to succeed online. We provide sellers with a range of industry-first benefits such as zero commission and affordable shipping costs, growing their business by tapping the company's massive customer base, state-of-the-art tech infrastructure, and pan-India logistics at cost through third-party logistics providers and our in-house logistics arm Valmo, in an 'Everyday Low Cost' channel for sellers.
Affordable, relatable merchandise mirroring local markets has helped us make inroads with first-time internet users in the country. We cater to an underserved and unique customer base and cover every serviceable pincode in the country. Our unique business model and continuous innovation have enabled us to become the first Indian horizontal e-commerce company.

About Valmo and the Data Science Team
Valmo is Meesho's own logistics arm, built to give sellers and customers cutting-edge, low-cost logistics and supply chain support. Supply Chain Network Optimization sits at the heart of the Valmo Data Science team: we design and plan the network that moves Valmo's shipments every day, from first-mile pickup through sort centres and line haul to last-mile delivery. We use OR, MILP, stochastic optimisation, simulation, ML and DL across network design, first/middle/last-mile optimisation, capacity planning and delivery promise, and we build for the long term, not just today's problems. This role is for someone ready to execute at speed, with a growth mindset, to build and scale these models. About the Role
As a Data Scientist 3(Operations Research), you will own a workstream within Valmo network design — not just a model. You will be accountable for the North Star Metric of that workstream (cost per shipment, end-to-end shipment speed, network capacity utilisation, on-time delivery, delivery promise), set its OR/ML roadmap, and mentor DS1s and DS2s in delivering it. You will take ambiguous, loosely-defined business problems, decide which ones are worth solving, formulate them mathematically, and ship optimization systems that run Valmo's network every day. Workstreams span network design, routing and scheduling across the first, middle and last mile.
