My First Week in Delium
Introduction:
On the first day (21/11/2024) evening, I attended the aptitude exam. Since I had taken aptitude training that semester, it was easy, and I was confident that I would be shortlisted for the next round—and yes, I was.
Day 2 (22/11/2024) morning was very cold, yet I got up earlier than I usually do. Before the next round, the founder of Delium, Simon, held a little game of sales pitch where I was tasked with selling a water gun with the target audience being whales. I sold it successfully, and then we attended the next round: Data Comprehension. I thought it would be a regular round until we were given a big Excel list and told to answer some questions after analyzing it. The next rounds for us were Group Discussion and Sales Pitch.
I did those rounds well and eventually got shortlisted for the ultimate showdown, the final round, but we were called to the office in Chennai on 06/12/2024.
On the final day, there were three rounds. We were tasked with creating a train ticket system's model, after which I was interviewed by Simon sir, and finally, I did a pitch on a mall proposal in Chennai.
Placed and called for Internship:
I was eagerly waiting for the result, which came on 09/12/2024. I had not been that happy in a long time. After exams, New Year, Pongal, and the new semester, three of us were called in for the internship from 10/02/2025 (Monday). Srinidhi contacted us and conveyed the message of internship.
Day 1 (10/02):
My First day in Delium as an intern turned out to be great, i got to the office after a long traffic with my dad at 9:30 am , my co interns were waiting there for me. I got introduced to the Company’s main product The Miner an AI copilot for the purpose of inventory management. The Miner has many beneficial features to provide the customers. It can Evaluate the amount of stock in storage , no of sold products and give analytical result that will be used to improvise the store’s work. The Features of the Miner:
- Wastage Reduction
- Increased bottom line
- Reordering of products on demand and can also be automated
- Backup plan for unavailable stock
- Tracking of orders to the suppliers

- also , repackaging, cashflow ,stockout analysis ,etc.
The Miner's AI capabilities make it a useful tool for businesses to manage their inventory management processes effectively and easily. The system learns from present and past data to make accurate predictions about stock needs. This intelligent automation helps businesses save time and resources while maintaining optimal inventory levels and will reduce the Human intervention. The Miner's integration of AI and machine learning algorithms ensures continuous improvement in its predictions and recommendations over time as the data increases.
The day went amazingly as i got my place marked like my go to place in the office and my neighbor is Azar, he’s the one right now clearing my doubts about the product.
Day 2 (11/02):
Today I learnt about the functions of our product and work we have to put on each and every customer. We as a marketing team have to do lead generation by getting new contacts giving them a cold call to explain about our product. Leads can be classified as cold leads , warm leads and hot leads. I was introduced to the work cycle like what to do as a product specialist. Importantly i get to attend a meeting or more likely to say observed a meeting where Reshma instructed a customer (Shanmathi stores or super market ) maybe from Gujarat about how to work on the Eye miner. She took the session about supply chain tracking. I learned many things like how to talk to a customer and more things about how supply chain tracking works in real time.
The Miner provides an option to track Purchase Orders (POs) given to suppliers. The tracking system classifies orders into these categories:
- Open - Orders awaiting delivery or yet to be delivered.
- Expired - Orders that remain undelivered even after their due date (resulting in out of stock)
- Underserved - Orders where the supplier delivered less than the requested quantity (leading to stockouts)
- Overserved - Orders where the supplier delivered more than requested (causing overstocking and potential waste)
The Miner includes communication features to contact suppliers about these issues through phone calls, emails, and other methods if the options are enabled. I left to home like in 6:15. It was a good day as i got a little bit of understanding on the product.
Day 3 (12/02):
Day 4(13/02):
Today i arrived at like 9:15 am. Morning we got the procedure of doing whatsapp campaign and started the process for the contacts and i finished like a half of it today, also before lunch i practiced to give a cold call myself and altered a little bit of content to my comfort. After the lunch i attended a the demonstration meeting with Sampoorna supermarket where they was taught about cash flow analysis and budget planning.
Cash-Flow Analysis:
- The Cash flow analysis is represented as a Grid Chart in The Eye to represent the cash flow in the business.
- Cash Flow is calculated by subtracting total cash outflows from total cash inflows , this cash flow is calculated to check whether the business with a specific supplier is healthy or not.
- .The analysis is chromatically as darker the grid of a supplier then cash flow while doing business with him is healthy and as when it is in red shade then action have to be taken as the cash flow is poor.
- Good cash flow means the business is earning more than what it is spending on suppliers. Poor cash flow indicates that the business is investing more in suppliers than the revenue generated from those articles.
- The Grid chart representing cash flow will always shows the main suppliers on the top and as we descend down the importance of the suppliers will decrease, so as we see more green shades on the top of the chart the cash flow in the business is good
Budget Planning:
- The use of budget planner is to recommend and allocate budget for entities both as a group and individually.
- It will also issue a warning if the investment on that article exceeds the allocated budget.
- Budget Groups: The Budget Groups shows the product with Spendings on it and today's order worth if it is present in the PO.
- The Budget group also shows the product highlighted in red if it has exceeded or will exceed the budget soon while including order's worth.
- When it is still covered under the budget then it will highlight the product in green.
- Price Band : The Product can also be analysed on with it's price band, as a article can be compared with other similar articles on the same price range.
- Mutation: Enabling the mutation will set maximum and minimum threshold of deviation from the allocated budget for an article.
- The threshold can be set by the store and when the purchase order of that specific article fall short or exceed the threshold it has to be reviewed and approved to raise the PO.
- The reorder of an article that exceeded the budget can also be postponed.
- Mutation Checker: The review can be done by the user and a specific mutation on a slug can be reviewed a specific user and that can also be customized.
