About

Hey, I'm Mohamed Saleem Ahamed Basheer — Vice President at Futr.Ag, where I own P&L and operations across hydroponics and controlled-environment agriculture, working closely with the founder to execute the company's vision on the ground. I bring 14+ years of building and scaling supply chain and operations functions — including founding my own logistics startup. At Futr.Ag, I manage CapEx/OpEx budgets totalling $1.2M+ against $15M+ in delivered infrastructure, lead a 45+ FTE and 75+ contractor organisation across Projects, Procurement, Farm Operations, Distribution, Finance, Agronomy and R&D, and cut procurement costs by 15% through vendor consolidation. I've also launched commercial channels for our produce — 3 retail outlets, an institutional buyer, and a growing enterprise pipeline. Before this, I founded Meshvy, a UK-based crowd-shipping logistics platform for same-day delivery. I bootstrapped it end-to-end — building logistics, warehousing, distribution and customer service from scratch, and designing a crowd-shipping model that cut delivery costs 18% below traditional courier logistics. That experience of building from zero, with no playbook and no slack in the budget, shapes how I operate today. Before Meshvy, I spent over a decade building and running supply chain at scale: Ninjacart (Head of Supply Chain) — Owned P&L for a PAN-India logistics network of 350+ first-mile trucks and 1,600+ last-mile vehicles. Pioneered last-mile delivery using auto-rickshaws and e-bikes, cutting last-mile costs by 47% (~$600K/quarter) and first/mid-mile costs by 30% ($550K/year). Built 28 distribution centres and 2 fulfilment centres, led a 100+ person team, and delivered £3.5M in regional projects — holding 98%+ on-time delivery through 11 operating-model changes in 27 months. Hived (Capacity Planning Head) — Built capacity planning that supported 300% week-on-week growth without service degradation, and renegotiated supplier contracts for £300K in savings. I have a founder's mentality — accountability, ownership, and frugality aren't just values, they're how I operate. I thrive on taking things from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 10: building from scratch, then scaling without losing control of cost or service. Whether it's a startup, a distribution network, or a farm operation that has to flex fast, my focus stays the same — cut cost without cutting service, and build operations that scale. Let's connect if you're working on supply chain, logistics, agritech, deep tech, or any startup — always happy to talk shop
