Supply Chain Rhapsody

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide... no escape from complexity.

Welcome to the new rhythm of supply chains, where they aren’t static systems but operas in motion. Chaotic. Beautiful. High-stakes. And at the heart of it all? Not machines. Not models.

People.

Let’s hit play.

“Mama, just fixed a lag…

Smoothed a bottleneck out of sight, turned the tempo up just right…”

When LT Foods, the name behind Daawat, cut inventory holding time from 45 to 20 days, it wasn’t just a logistics win. It was a full-scale transformation. With sharper forecasting, digital tools, and a workforce trained to look beyond spreadsheets, they nearly doubled revenue and hit 95% service levels.

That’s not just process improvement. That’s harmony.

But orchestras don’t perform well without skilled conductors. And in supply chains, the conductors are your people, trained to think strategically and act digitally.

Responding to Post-Pandemic Supply Chain Changes

“New tech shivers down my spine, transformation's on the line…”

The pandemic highlighted the need for supply chain resilience. Companies are now prioritizing diversification, nearshoring, and risk management. This shift necessitates a workforce capable of strategic planning and agile execution.

Suddenly, companies are playing a new tune with updated instruments.

According to Gartner, AI adoption in supply chains increases efficiency, optimizing inventory and demand planning.

But while the instruments got upgraded (IoT, AI, blockchain), the players weren’t ready.

McKinsey says 90% of supply chain leaders don’t think their workforce is skilled enough for digitisation.

It’s like handing Freddie Mercury a ukulele, a powerful voice, but the wrong tool.

Embracing Technological Transformation

“So you think you can scale me without the right team…

So you think you can automate and skip the dream…”

Tech adoption is easy. Talent transformation? That’s the part we keep skipping.

• IoT delivers real-time insights, but who’s interpreting them?
   
• Blockchain builds trust, but only if it’s integrated well.
   
• AI can forecast spikes, but can your team respond in time?
   

It’s not about tools. It’s about knowing how to use them.

Accenture found that digitally fluent organizations are over 5x more likely to grow revenue.

So, what’s holding us back? Skill gaps.

According to the GCC India Talentscope 2025 report, 9 out of 10 leaders expect a talent shortfall by 2030, especially in AI, ML, and supply chain strategy.

Upskilling is Imperative

“Nothing really matters… to me.”

Well, something does matter, your people.

You can’t fix a broken supply chain with more software.
You fix it with people who can think in code and act in chaos.
With professionals who can read a dashboard and rewrite a forecast.
With teams that understand the beat of the business and the tempo of technology.
