Sanjiv Navangul on redefining supply chains at ET Edge SCM Summit

The ongoing India–USA tariff tensions highlight a hard truth: ➡️ Global supply chains will always face shocks. For operations leaders, efficiency alone is no longer enough. Resilience now comes from: 📊 Data-driven insights ☁ Cloud-based visibility 🤖 Automation & AI 🌱 Sustainable practices I break down these in my latest carousel: “How Technology is Transforming Operations Strategy in 2025.” #Operations #Consulting #Strategy #DigitalTransformation #SupplyChain

Why India is Emerging as the Hub of Responsible and Robust Supply Chains When global supply chains buckled under the weight of the pandemic and new geopolitical tensions, India turned disruption into opportunity. From PLI-driven manufacturing to AI-powered logistics and sustainability-focused practices, the country is positioning itself as a reliable anchor in a volatile world economy—where resilience, diversification, and competitiveness are the new rules of the game.

🏭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 Yet, many still struggle with late orders — not because of lack of effort, but because of lack of visibility. 🔍 📉 Machines keep running. 👷 Workers stay busy. But without real-time insights, managers are often making decisions in the dark. Digitalization brings operational visibility by connecting. 🌐 It connects every process, makes operations transparent, and ensures delays don’t become the “new normal.” 🚀 Smarter decisions. Faster deliveries. Stronger growth. 👉 digiXLT ke saath — Digitalization Sahi Hai. Let’s build your smart factory today.

93% of India Inc.’s boardroom focus is now shaped by global megatrends. Our new CEO Agenda Q12025 distils insights from 250+ leading Indian companies across 24 sectors. It reveals how global megatrends — digital transformation, AI, sustainability, tariffs, and trade — increasingly outweigh sector-specific issues in shaping strategy. Digital: the #1 boardroom topic in Q1 2025, with CEOs moving from broad “transformation” to ROI-driven initiatives in customer experience, automation, and Industry 4.0. AI: despite the hype, half of sectors made no mention of AI in quarterly calls, showing a gap between rhetoric and reality. Tariffs & Trade: recent US tariff hikes (up to 50% on exports) generated the most negative sentiment, pushing firms to localise inputs and diversify markets. Sustainability: cited not as compliance, but as a strategic hedge against energy volatility and currency risk. Execution bias: leaders devote more time to logistics, digital scaling, and innovation than to waiting for macro conditions to improve. 👉 Explore the detailed insights: https://lnkd.in/gvi_yYsJ #CEOAgenda #IndiaInc #BoardroomPriorities #GlobalMegatrends #DigitalTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #SustainabilityStrategy #TariffsAndTrade #FutureOfBusiness #Strategy2025 Deepak Sharma, Rohit Prasad, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon, Shiv Kumar

Why are Indian products still not cost-competitive in global markets? The challenge goes far beyond corruption. It is rooted in deeper systemic issues: 🔹 Trust gap – Lack of transparency and quality consistency lowers customer confidence. 🔹 Outdated technology – Heavy reliance on manual processes keeps costs high. 🔹 Logistics & infrastructure – Transportation and energy costs add an extra burden. 🔹 Fragmented production – Small-scale units miss out on economies of scale. For India to become truly competitive, we must focus on: ✅ Building trust & transparency ✅ Investing in technology & R&D ✅ Driving large-scale, efficient production Because in the end, trust and integrity are the real keys to cost-effectiveness and global competitiveness.

"The pandemic taught us that supply chain disruptions don’t just come from logistics, but from people — fear, myths, and uncertainty kept factories still. Yet, within days, we had to return and ensure life-saving products reached even the smallest hospitals. From managing raw materials to cold chain availability and even tackling black fungus, the pressure was immense. The biggest learning was equitable distribution and the ability to cut down on dependencies. Disruptions pushed us to reimagine supply chains — not as something to endure, but as something we could redesign to be faster, leaner, and more resilient." — Sanjiv Navangul, MD & CEO, Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited. #ETEdgeSCMWest #FutureOfSCM #Velocity #Visibility #Viability

🔎 Sector Rotation in Play After IT, pharma too faces an overhang with regulatory issues, Trump Tariff and slowing export growth. Markets are likely to drift gradually towards domestic themes — consumption, infra, manufacturing, financials, and healthcare services,PSU. 💡 Takeaway: Leadership is shifting from global-facing sectors to India’s own demand story. Time to focus on Made-in-India growth .
