About Tuco Kids

Tuco Kids (Unbottle Pvt Ltd) is a high-growth, Bengaluru-based startup that is redefining the personal care landscape for the "ignored" age group of 3 to 13-year-olds. Founded in 2022 by Aishvarya Murali (an alumna of Unilever and Furlenco), the brand was born from a mother's frustration with the lack of age-appropriate products that bridge the gap between mild baby care and harsh adult offerings.

The leadership was further bolstered in early 2025 with the appointment of Co-founder Chanakya Gupta, a former Vice President at Flipkart and HR Head at Curefit, who brings over two decades of marketplace and scaling expertise. Together, they have built a brand that prioritizes 100% natural formulations and sustainability, utilizing 100% ocean-reclaimed and landfill-reclaimed plastic for their packaging.

The company's trajectory has been nothing short of explosive, reporting a 10x growth in the past year and earning the trust of over 500,000 parents across India. After an initial $2 million seed round, Tuco Kids secured $4 million in Series A funding in September 2025, led by RTP Global with continued backing from Fireside Ventures and Whiteboard Capital. Joining Tuco Kids means entering a fast-paced, high-growth environment where analytical rigor meets strategic execution.

Role: S&OP Planner

As our S&OP Planner, you are the architect of our efficiency. You won’t just "track inventory"- you will orchestrate the delicate balance between surging consumer demand and our complex supply chain. Your mission is to ensure that as Tuco Kids scales, our operations remain lean, responsive, and data-driven.

Your Canvas:

Demand Forecasting: Develop and maintain high-accuracy demand plans by analyzing historical data, market trends, and marketing calendars.
Supply Orchestration: Collaborate with manufacturing and procurement teams to ensure production schedules align with sales targets and inventory goals.
Inventory Optimization: Manage stock levels across multiple channels and warehouses to minimize stock-outs while preventing overstock situations.
Performance Tracking: Own the KPIs—monitor Forecast Accuracy, Bias, and Fill Rates, and deep-dive into variances to drive continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For

You have at least 4 years of experience in supply and demand forecasting and planning, specifically within the D2C or FMCG industry.
You are extremely good with numbers. You don't just see spreadsheets; you see the story they tell.
Advanced Excel modeling is your second language. You can build complex, automated tools to solve multi-variable planning problems.
You possess sharp analytical skills and a methodical approach to problem-solving.
You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where agility is key and "good enough" isn't enough.
You are comfortable working closely with cross-functional teams.
