# Rakesh Dutta on Tal

## Headline

Supply Chain \| Building Quick Commerce @ Supertails \| Ex\-Licious

## About

I build and scale hyperlocal operations that are fast, reliable and built to scale sustainably\. Currently Director – Hyperlocal Operations at Supertails, where I designed and launched a partner\-led quick\-commerce network across Bengaluru, Mumbai and NCR within 3 months\. Today it enables a 30\-minute delivery promise for 80%\+ of customers across all three cities\. I own the P&L and chose an asset\-light, partner\-led model to improve unit economics, and I'm now driving the network's path to profitability\. Before Supertails, I spent 7\+ years at Licious, growing through six roles, from Area Manager to Cluster Head\. I led operations across NCR, Hyderabad, Pune and Haryana, running cold\-chain, last\-mile and store operations for one of India's fastest\-growing D2C brands\. Along the way, I contributed to the design of Licious hubs and led quality charters to raise operational and product standards across the network\. I started my career as an engineer at Wipro, and that grounding still shapes how I work: data\-driven, process\-first and focused on building systems that scale\. What I bring: • Quick Commerce & Hyperlocal Network Design • P&L Ownership & Unit Economics • Last\-Mile Delivery & Dark Store Operations • Hub Design & Quality Management • Partner & Vendor Ecosystem Building • Building and Leading High\-Performance Ops Teams Always happy to connect with people building in quick commerce, D2C and supply chain\.
