If your mind were to perchance wander and settle upon the topic of manufacturing and supply chains, the chances are that China will be one of the first names that pops into your mind. After all, the Chinese have been one of the names at the very forefront of global supply chains for many a decade now. But as the tides shifted in recent years, and a “plus-one” mentality emerged denoting a shift away from China, India has stood to be one of major beneficiaries. Moody’s attested this, stating that amid global headwinds in 2024, strong domestic markets will provide support to economies with large manufacturing bases and improving infrastructure such as India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

2024 will be the year of taking on a more strategic supply chain management system, but this approach must be tempered with caution, as poor technological and partner choices could greatly hinder any growth possibilities. Another factor to consider are evolving consumer expectations, which include that of a greater emphasis on sustainability and corporate responsibility. With a slew of other factors at play, it is safe to say that the supply chain and logistics arena is undergoing a sea change that will play out over the course of 2024, and even well beyond in the years to come.

In this milieu, the 3^rd edition of Team Marksmen’s annual Supply Chain and Logistics Conclave 2024, scheduled to be held on 21^st June in New Delhi, will provide logistics and supply chain leaders from various industries the opportunity to put their minds together and discuss best practices for navigating the tectonic challenges of our age. With a focus on gaining a fuller understanding of how to navigate supply chain disruptions, as well as advanced technologies defining the space, decision-making analytics, and much more, this industry-centric platform will highlight the key actions needed to build a manufacturing and sourcing footprint that offers sustained competitive advantage.

This one-of-a-kind industry platform will bring together key stakeholders from across industries to deliberate upon last-mile delivery innovations, demand planning and forecasting, creating supply chain resilience, the impact of AI in supply chain, the criticality of warehouse automation, and much more. It goes without saying that these are just a few of the topics that remain key concerns for stakeholders across the spectrum, and that these issues along with others will be delved into in detail at the Conclave.

Offering his perspective, Sharad Gupta, Co-founder, Team Marksmen Network said, “In today’s hyper-connected world, mastering supply chain and logistics is the key to unlocking competitive advantage.
