Edgistify hires Gowrish Rai as EIR–growth to drive next-phase expansion

MUMBAI: Edgistify has tapped transformation veteran Gowrish Rai as its new entrepreneur in residence for growth, bolstering its leadership bench as the warehousing and fulfilment firm gears up for an aggressive expansion push.

Rai arrives with more than two decades of experience in business transformation and operations excellence across Wells Fargo, EY, Target and Deloitte, a career built on redesigning systems, scaling processes and delivering measurable improvements across large global operations.

Edgistify says the hire is central to its next phase. Founder and chief executive Umang Shukla calls Rai “a builder of structure”, arguing that the company’s ambitions demand sharper frameworks, tougher discipline and a more technology-driven operating spine.

Rai says the mandate is clear: strengthen capabilities, boost efficiency and hard-wire a high-performance culture as Edgistify expands deeper into India’s supply-chain corridors. His background spans large-scale change management, risk mitigation and cross-functional transformation, skills the company hopes will accelerate its move from a fast-growing upstart to a nationally dominant fulfilment network.

Founded by Shukla, Antim Suman and Kamal Kumawat, Edgistify operates through its EdgeOS platform, a tech-led system that manages warehousing, orders and transportation across 75 plus sites and more than 18,000 pin codes.

With Rai now in its corner, Edgistify is not just scaling, it is sharpening its claws.
