India is an economy in possession of an excellent quartet of qualities. It has a competitive advantage brought on by its demographic dividend; it boasts of a robust demand synonymous with India’s expanding middle class, which is predicted to have the second-largest share in global consumption at 17% by 2030. The government has announced conducive policy support measures (to transition it into a global manufacturing hub), adding more than US$ 500 billion annually to the global economy by 2030. And finally, a collaborative effort to make India a manufacturing economy that contributes ~30% to the national GDP. Given the thrust on indigenous manufacturing, it is only fitting that we prioritise the sustainability of vulnerable manufacturing supply chains, key drivers of manufacturing competitiveness. Aside from building inventory to buffer against disruptions, better prepare for unforeseen scenarios, and reduce overall costs. Sustainable supply chain management has the potential to add significant value for businesses and society.

As supply chain sustainability becomes the need of the hour, this initiative is a stepping stone into the future of fintech platforms and how they can bring robustness and durability and unlock sustainable value in complex manufacturing supply chains. Join us as we collaborate and interact with industry leaders to shed light on how technology is easing liquidity problems in manufacturing setups and how supply chains can become more resilient with sustainable strategies.
