Companies you'll love to work for

SILQ’s core mission is to simplify global trade and create a cost-effective and sustainable supply chain that is accessible to everyone. Thinking about supply chain optimization from first principles, The team in India will focus on building the next generation of tooling for factories and a mobile application to collect quality data from the field and help us benchmark and improve factory performance.

Some of the problems we need to solve next year:

• Financing for both factories and our clients which means lending money and all the technical challenges that come with it.
• Real time tracking of shipments - tracking ships, planes and trucks. Although this is a solved problem for passenger assets, cargo vehicle tracking is still in its nascent stages.
• Automating document digitization - Our mission involves revolutionizing an archaic industry which involves a lot of physical documents which require considerable operational effort to digitize.
• Scaling up our collaboration systems - comments, direct messaging and notification systems
• Robust payment infrastructure so that our users across the globe can pay factories and Silq.
• Mobile app to “uber”ize factory inspections. Anyone with a phone should be able to perform an AQL inspection.
