Technology investments and digital supply chain led initiatives driven by enterprises in a disruption-led world today.
“Logistics in India is valued at about $215 billion (INR 18 lakh crores) and contributes to ~14% percent of the nation’s GDP. The Government of India aims to reduce the overall spend (as a % of GDP) in line with other developed economies and improve the overall Logistics Performance Index of the country. The National Logistics Policy by the Government is a step in this direction,” says Prashant Gupta, Partner – Kearney India.
Prashant adds, “In the last few years of socio-economic & geo-political disruption, we’re witnessing supply chain leaders being involved with organization leadership to propel margin growth, achieve sustainability, own customer service, and orchestrate new channel & new market entry, etc. Leveraging technology will be pivotal in achieving these goals.”
“In the ongoing inflationary environment, manufacturers are under constant pressure to maximize margins by finding innovative ways to keep costs low. At the same time, the Asian consumer is discerning, demanding more and better for less. Businesses of consequence are investing in supply chain & logistics technologies to drive digital initiatives to help their systems & processes become smarter and their supply chain more agile & resilient,” says Nitin Jayakrishnan, CEO & Co-founder – Pando.
He adds, “Supply Chain leadership and IT leadership are two faces of the same coin. We are seeing more and more technologists become supply chain leaders, and vice versa. Our ongoing collaboration with Kearney is to provide businesses with a map to navigate this new reality.”
