Aniketh Mohanty, Strategic Pricing Manager @ Wayfair

Aniketh Mohanty works as a Pricing & Performance Manager within Wayfair’s CastleGate Forwarding team.

What is CastleGate Forwarding?

• Humans have indulged in trade for hundreds of years. Aniketh works on the pricing of containers - developing strategies & solutions - in a volatile freight forwarding market for Wayfair’s freight customers.

• CastleGate Forwarding is focused on building efficient, simple solutions. Since COVID, the global supply chain has been upended and overdue for a technology & process transformation. 

• Aniketh & team are focused on predictive pricing, transparency, and predictive decision making to build more profitable (and sustainable) supply chains.

• Sitting between sales & procurement, they give supplier partners optionality in how they build their supply chains.

How can we help? Let’s talk about data analytics & AI. There could be more technology growth in freight forwarding. Reach out to Aniketh if you’re building in this space!
