The Logistics and Warehousing sector will play a key role as India moves forward in realizing its vision for "Viksit Bharat" and further it will play a pivotal role as India transitions to achieving its Net Zero target. The key is that we all must act with a high sense of urgency given that there are strong financial outcomes on higher ROI and lower Opex that can be delivered by adopting Zero Emissions MHEs (Material Handling Equipment), in addition to helping decarbonize your supply chains and moving towards Net Zero. Looking forward to sharing some perspectives on Driving Sustainability in Logistics and Warehousing via Decarbonization of Supply Chains, as well as learning from other speakers and participants, at the ASSOCHAM National Conference on Logistics and Warehousing for Viksit Bharat.

It is envisaged that the Logistics will definitely play an intrinsic role🔊 in the functioning of any business📇, whether it is a big or small one🤷. Effective logistics would reduce the supply chain cost and increase customer satisfaction for the MSMEs and large enterprises of the country. Here are some of the following steps which can be implemented to optimize logistics for both: ???? : 📌Embrace Technology👨‍💻: The adoption of technology is most important for optimizing logistics. MSME and large corporations in India could utilize technology to smoothen operations, track shipments in real-time, and automate processes. IoT, Blockchain, and AI can be used by businesses to improve the efficiency of their logistic operations. 📌Innovation💡: Innovation brings about logistics optimization. Indian MSMEs and large corporations can look for new ways in which freight can be moved—drones, autonomous vehicles for last-mile delivery—or seek new packaging solutions that help cut down the costs and the carbon footprint. 📌Money Spend💳: This includes investing in technology, infrastructure, and talent. Proper planning and budgeting can help businesses optimize their logistics spend. 📌Skills🤳: Logistics is characterized by a highly skilled workforce. MSMEs and large corporations, therefore, ought to invest in skills and other development programs to ensure their workforce is fully equipped with the required skills for logistics operations. 📌Routes🖇: Choosing the right logistics routes is critical to optimizing logistics. MSMEs and large corporations in India should evaluate different routes based on cost, time, and efficiency. 📌Infrastructure🛣: Infrastructure is one of the major components of logistics optimization. Indian MSMEs and large corporations should invest in core infrastructures that pertain to logistics, including warehouses, transportation hubs, and distribution centers. 📌Government Policies🛂: The Indian government is trying to improve the logistics infrastructure and bring down the cost of logistics. MSMEs and large corporates in India must take the initiative process of the government in hand, for example, Sagarmala project, which would help develop India's port infrastructure. They can also look into government schemes such as the Logistics Efficiency Enhancement Program that provides financial support for developing logistic infrastructure. Logistics in India for MSMEs and large corporations needs a multi-dimensional approach regarding technology, innovation, money outlayed, skills, routes, infrastructure, roads, rails, air cargo, and policies of the government. #CargoMovers #Logistics #ImportExport #Business #Freshers #MSME P.S. - Please repost ♻️ if you're thinking about leveling up

🚛 India’s Logistics Sector: The Road Ahead 🚛 Deepak Sood, Secretary General of ASSOCHAM, recently shed light on India's logistical challenges that need immediate attention to fuel our growth trajectory. The ongoing hurdles, especially in infrastructure and workforce readiness, are impacting sectors like e-commerce, exports, and highway development. Key Challenges: Infrastructure Deficiencies: Despite advancements, gaps in quality and resilience remain, particularly in roadways and warehousing, impacting the flow of goods across the country. Port Capacity Constraints: With increased global trade, our ports need rapid upgrades to keep up with growing demands and reduce delays. Workforce Efficiency: Skilled labor shortages and operational inefficiencies slow down the growth potential of the sector. Sood underscores that while models like the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) and Public-Private Partnerships are steps in the right direction, additional collaborative efforts are crucial to establishing India as a logistics powerhouse. The Way Forward: Enhanced Public-Private Partnerships: Engaging private players through PPP and Build Operate Transfer (BOT) models can drive faster progress in building and maintaining high-quality infrastructure. Emphasis on Digital Logistics: Streamlining customs, payment reconciliation, and improving supply chain visibility will be game-changers. Investing in Workforce Training: Establishing skill hubs to empower a robust workforce will further strengthen India’s position in the global logistics arena. With a combined push from the private sector and government, India's logistics industry is poised to become a world leader in efficiency and innovation. Let’s work together to bridge these gaps and take our logistics sector to new heights! 🌍✈️ #IndiaLogistics #SupplyChainExcellence #InfrastructureDevelopment #ASSOCHAM #Innovation #FutureOfLogistics #EconomicGrowth

Early election result trends suggest that BJP is heading for a landslide victory in Maharashtra; however, let me make a confession here I am totally non-aligned with BJP’s ideology, thought processes and actions; however, having said it, I am under legal, moral & ethical obligation to accept the people’s mandate without any ‘’if & but’’. Not all the voters are ideology-driven, and they must have seen their growth prospects in BJP. But, I am trying to make a different point here, for which, lets go back to 2024 General Elections (Parliamentary elections) wherein most of the pollsters had gone horribly wrong. BJP was expected to win absolute majority which did not happen. Subsequently, the Congress Spoke Persons went berserk and started attributing motives to every pollster, that they are BJP/RSS agent etc. etc. The most authentic pollster – Pradeep Gupta (Axis My India) was derided and humiliated routinely by Congress, and he cried in the studio. Actually, my problem with Congress is on this count when they start making allegations left, right & centre and attribute motives to everyone. Now, they have got eggs on their faces as in assembly elections of Maharashtra & Jharkhand, Pradip Gupta is the only one who seems to have called the Election right. Now, what will the Congress say? Will it still attribute motives? For any Professional, the biggest ideology is his ‘’Honest Professionalism’’. Each one of us have views, opinions and sometimes ideology (and nothing wrong with it) but a True Professional will never get driven by these things, because for him, his Professionalism would always be bigger than his caste, creed, religion or personal friendships. I am of the view, Pradeep Gupta (Axis My India) should never have cried in the studio for 2024 General Elections. He should have taken it on his chin and simply declared that this was just a failure on his part and moved on. He was emotional and non-professional on this count. If we lawyers start crying on every case we lose then our entire life shall get spent in Crying only. Because, no matter how big a lawyer is loses cases every other day!
