Meeting Debjit Roy Institute Chair Professor at IIM A

“We became logisticians by accident,” I frequently hear supply chain professionals claim. Although spoken in a lighthearted manner, the truth is that this is the grim reality of India.

Despite employing about 30 million people in India, very few people pick supply chain and logistics as a career of choice.

Some attribute it to a lack of glamour, an operationally heavy character, and significantly lower-paying jobs.

Supply chain is frequently viewed as a cost center rather than a profit center, and hence receives less attention than other verticals.

Our warehousing lead, Kumar Swaraj Verma from Hyphen SCS had the opportunity to learn, improve his skills, and most importantly, get inspired to pursue supply chain as his career of choice from none other than dynamic Debjit Roy, Ph.D. sir Debjit Roy, Institute Chair Professor at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad .

It was a pleasure interacting and sharing notes with him while representing Hyphen SCS at the ET Edge The Economic Times Supply Chain Management and Logistics Summit 2023.

Keep up the wonderful work of both educating and inspiring the youth of India so that future generations can help India reduce the huge gap in operations costs and become logisticians by choice and not by accident.

I will be more than happy to assist you in this pursuit! Cheers!
