Senior Merchandiser – Product Development & Production | Fynd Create
fynd· Growth
About this role
Fynd is a frontier technology company. We started at the intersection of technology and retail because that is where technology was the least available. Over the years, we became one of India’s largest retail technology platforms. But retail was the entry point, not the boundary.
Today, Fynd builds intelligent software that runs business operations. Not tools that help people work faster, but systems that absorb entire functions: manufacturing, marketing, logistics, commerce, quality control. We sit inside our customers’ businesses, harvest deep domain context, and build AI systems that operate autonomously. We are expanding from retail into manufacturing, generative media, physical AI, and healthcare.
Fynd Create is Fynd’s AI-powered, end-to-end fashion manufacturing platform that enables brands to go from trend insights to finished products at speed. It integrates design, sourcing, manufacturing, and cataloging to help brands reduce go-to-market timelines and costs while maintaining quality.
