Bangalore Job Code: 20205

Seeking a high-energy sales professional at an early stage startup

About AbleCold Logistics: (www.ablecold.com)

We are building India's widest network of a reliable integrated cold supply chain. We guarantee our customers a hassle-free single point of contact for managing different kinds of cold supply chain needs, while ensuring a robust temperature control throughout the chain.

The current $5Bn cold chain market is fraught with issues - fragmented service providers, service disruptions, improper temperature control, product damages and lack of flexible options such as part loads. In addition, with increasing consumer awareness and competition, manufacturers need cold chain as a key differentiator for their products.

We work with select existing cold storage and reefer owners. With the AbleCold Operating System and use of smart technology, we streamline operations to improve service standards while maintaining costs. Our innovative business model - asset-light, tech-enabled, integrated SC management - enables us to have higher service reliability, customized solutions and faster access to markets than existing players.

We are currently operational in Bangalore and are seeking a high-energy sales lead to grow our business.
