THE 5th edition of Celerity Supply Chain Tribe Awards, hosted on June 21 & 22 in Mumbai, was a hallmark event in ways more than one. This time, the poised platform not only celebrated the innovations and achievements of Under-30 Super Stars, Under-40 Super Achievers, Exemplary Supply Chain Companies, but also for the very first time, honored the top CSCOs of the country who are leaving a lasting trail for the young logisticians to follow. The presence of these industry heavyweights made this event truly a star-studded extravaganza and a memorable one.

The two-day event got a great head start with Hrushikesh Mehta, Senior Vice President – Financial Services, Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), delivering the keynote address. During his speech, he enlightened the audience on ONDC’s mission to democratize commerce and financial services in India. In just about a year into operation, the growth graph of ONDC has been highly impressive. While this is just the start, a multitude of opportunities are in the offing for the entire ecosystem to leverage.

This two-day congregation saw leading Change Makers & Disruptive Thinkers gathered together to discuss and deliberate over the theme of creating best value supply chains. Wideranging discussions were centered on

Resilient Supply Planning, Customercentric Innovation, Sustainabilitycentric value chain operations, Decisioncentric technologies, Ethical Sourcing & Procurement Practices, Last Mile Delivery & Distribution, and a Humancentric work design.

The Awards evening provided a great platform for young supply chain managers to strike up a meaningful dialogue with the best minds in the industry and learn tricks of trade from them. Simulation Games by our sponsor ValueQwest kept the audience hooked throughout these power-packed two days.

Day 2 of the event started on a high note with an extremely engaging and refreshing corporate wellness activity conducted by Power8. The trainer demonstrated some power moves for thriving in the corporate arena and balancing success and wellbeing through simple yet powerful exercises.

All in all, with over insightful nine panel discussions having 50+ speakers, 250+ delegates and a host of interactive activities for the attendees, the event was a mega success.
