Senior Manager – Latent Last Mile

About the Team

ValMo is Meesho's logistics and supply chain organization, building India's most cost-efficient, reliable, and scalable fulfillment network. From first-mile pickup to last-mile delivery and reverse logistics, ValMo powers millions of shipments every month for small businesses across the country.

As we scale, network complexity grows exponentially. ValMo sits at the intersection of technology, operations, and partner ecosystems — where execution precision and systems thinking are critical to prevent cascading failures across the network.
