The problem.Global manufacturing is a $16 trillion market in active restructuring. US, EU, and Middle East OEMs are moving supply chains out of China. India is the obvious alternative - cost advantage, engineering depth, scale.Yet $30 billion of India's SME manufacturing capacity sits idle every year.Not because factories lack machines. Because India's engineering SME base is operationally dark - no verified capability profiles, no process documentation, no single partner a global buyer can hold accountable. So buyers hesitate, orders don't come, and machines sit idle.That is the gap Veridia is closing.What we are building.Not a marketplace. Not a directory.A managed execution engine that integrates Indian engineering SMEs (₹5–200 Cr) into a global buyer's supply chain as reliable, transparent manufacturing partners. We own the full cycle: RFQ → verified sourcing → sampling → order → delivery. One accountable partner for the buyer. Real international order flow for the manufacturer.The supply backbone - a ranked, verified, segmented database of manufacturers who can deliver to cross-border standards - is what makes this possible. That is what this role builds.The work.SME Onboarding: Identify and onboard high-potential manufacturers (₹5-₹200 Cr) across India's industrial hubs. Build direct relationships through structured outreach to factory owners.Intelligence Building: Every call produces data - machines, process capabilities, certifications, shift utilisation, customer tiering, export history. You maintain a clean, ranked database - this becomes the matching logic for every order we take.Problem Discovery: Surface systemic pain points - from working capital gaps to digitization needs - to inform our product roadmap.Order Execution: Manage the end-to-end RFQ-to-delivery cycle, including technical drawing interpretation and sampling (PPAP/VDA).Who fits.Final-year or recent graduate in Mechanical, Production, or Industrial Engineering.MBA candidates with a prior engineering background are equally welcome.You can earn the trust of a skeptical factory owner in a 10-minute vernacular conversationYou understand how a drawing in Stuttgart becomes a machined part in IndiaYou are obsessive about clean data, zero ambiguity, and flawless follow-throughYou want to build a business from zero - not observe one from the outsideThe Deal.Stipend: ₹10,000/monthDuration: 2 months (Remote)Growth: Direct path to a full-time role for high performersApply here → apply via Linkedin)
