About Source

Source.One is India's leading zero-inventory distribution platform for industrial raw materials - polymers (~50kt/month), TiO2, solvents, recycled and compounded materials - with more verticals in the pipeline. We buy back-to-back from sellers and sell to buyers on the platform, and are now building the connective tissue - credit, logistics, and technology - that makes this the default way industrial materials get traded in India.

The Hook

We have the capital, the tech-stack, and a network of 15,000+ buyers; now we need "Founders" to build recent vertical empires. As an EIR for Industrial Materials (Chemicals, Paper, Coal, etc.), you are not an advisor-you are a builder. You will take a 0-to-1 concept and turn it into a high-revenue business vertical, operating with the intensity of a startup founder and the backing of a market leader.

Your Three Main Objectives
- 0-to-1 Vertical Build:

Identify, validate,



and launch new categories in Industrial Materials (e.g., Chemicals, Paper, Coal). You own the blueprint from day one.
- Market Liquidity

: Build the supply-demand engine by traveling extensively to industrial hubs to onboard the biggest importers, local traders, and domestic producers.
- Profitability & P&L; Ownership:

Transition the vertical from pilot to high-velocity growth. Your success is measured by the bottom-line impact you create.

The Toolkit (What you'll own)
- Market Entry:
End-to-end ownership of vertical strategy, supply chain mapping, and initial sales.
- Relationship Building:
Extensive travel (15-20 days/month) to build trust with supply-side giants and demand-side MSMEs.
- Tech-Led Scaling:
Leveraging Source’s logistics, credit, and data engines to automate the procurement cycle.
- Profit Sharing:
Driving aggressive unit economics where your upside is directly linked to the profit of your vertical.
