About Source
Source is India’s Leading Industrial Materials Platform. We are redefining how raw materials move across the economy, with a massive footprint in Plastics, Paints, Paper, and Building Materials. Operating across Virgin Commodities, Recyclables, and Market Intelligence, we sit squarely at the intersection of Tech, Data, and Network.

🚀 The Hook

As we scale toward 6x growth, our platforms, chats, and calls are generating an ocean of fragmented supply chain data. We need a high-growth mindset individual to sit directly alongside the Founders and act as our analytical engine. Your mandate is simple but difficult: bring order to the chaos and turn raw operational data into monetizable insights that dictate our strategy.
