About the Role: Supply Chain Intern

Nestlé India is accepting registrations for its specialised Supply Chain Track Internship. This premium corporate program is explicitly engineered for MBA and Master’s students in Supply Chain Management who possess a deep analytical drive and a passion for solving complex, large-scale operational bottlenecks.

As a Supply Chain Intern, you will pull back the curtain on one of the most resilient fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) distribution networks in the world.

Under the direct mentorship of veteran logistics executives, your day-to-day focus will center on building and optimising data models for inventory placement, demand planning, freight logistics, and customer service fulfilment. This track provides a direct, high-impact avenue to implement operational best practices and ensure Nestlé’s multi-billion-dollar brand portfolio consistently reaches retail shelves across India.

• Demand & Supply Planning: Assist in evaluating statistical inventory forecasting models, aligning production outputs with fast-moving consumer demands to minimise stockouts.
