Joined as a Operation Analyst Intern at 1VP, a B2B e-commerce platform connecting suppliers and buyers for Class B and C procurement, the unglamorous but genuinely important stuff that keeps industrial supply chains running.

Spent early weeks digging into B2B marketing strategies and competitor operations, trying to figure out where we were actually positioned versus where we thought we were. Also built out a database of industrial associations and networking expos across India, the kind of unsexy groundwork that quietly opens doors later.

Put together a marketing plan aimed specifically at enterprise customers, and market reach and lead generation moved because of it, not dramatically, but noticeably. Got hands-on with implementing ASN and GRN systems for electrical procurement at a major FMCG company, which taught me more about operational efficiency than any case study could, systems either save people time or they don't, and you find out fast which one you built.

Also managed operations for a fair number of orders to larger companies, which meant a lot of vendor coordination and making sure deliveries actually showed up on time and correctly. Ran a few training sessions for vendors too, mostly because performance problems are often just knowledge gaps wearing a disguise.

Looking back, this is where I first got comfortable with B2B being slower and less flashy than B2C, but arguably more honest about what actually moves a business forward.
