Building sustainable supply chains in the post Covid-19 era

The Indian logistics sector emerged as one of the strongest support systems for the economy ravaged by a
global pandemic. The rise can be attributed to several factors, including appropriate policy amendments and
infrastructure support by the government for improving transport and storage facilities, with a focus on
reducing the logistic cost. In addition to this, the sector has also be driven largely by fast paced tech adoption,
the meteoric rise ecommerce led last mile deliveries, a more robust food and pharma supply chain and AI
driven operations.
In addition to tech adoption, global trends in adopting Greener business practices are also pushing for
adoption of environmentally responsible solutions in logistics and supply chain. This would mean that the next
wave of disruption for Indian logistics is set be the evolution of ‘Sustainable’ Supply Chains which are not only
environmentally conscious but also efficient in terms of cost, time, fuel and productivity. Hector Patel, Executive Director, and Board Member. Jeena & Co. lists some key points of transformation that will help build sustainable supply chains for India:
