How do we build AI that works for Bharat — not just for boardrooms?
That question was staying with us while we were discussing the future of logistics and supply chains at the 3rd Industry–Academia Interface Conference on Logistics and Warehousing 2026 hosted by @opus.operations NCR at @greatlakesgurgaon.
@arunpanditunplugged, Co-founder of @hyphenscs, was sharing insights from his experience of working closely with India’s evolving logistics and warehousing ecosystem.
While the theme was AI in Operations & Supply Chain, the conversation was going deeper — exploring strategy, governance, and the future of work in a rapidly transforming industry.
One perspective Arun was highlighting during the discussion:
India doesn’t just need AI tools.
India is needing AI infrastructure.
Not isolated automation.
But integrated operating systems.
Not just dashboards.
But decision layers that connect warehouses, manpower, inventory, compliance, logistics, and finance into one intelligent system.
Across India’s fragmented and SME-heavy warehousing ecosystem, we were seeing a massive opportunity to build a digital operating layer for logistics infrastructure.
At @hyphenscs, this shift was already becoming visible:
• From software as record-keeping → AI as a system of execution
• From digitisation → orchestration
If industry, academia, and policy were continuing to align around this shift, India was not only modernising supply chains — it was intelligently powering millions of square feet of logistics infrastructure across the country.
Grateful to have been exchanging insights with leaders across the ecosystem and hearing powerful perspectives from academia, industry, and future supply chain professionals.
Because the future of supply chains will certainly be intelligent —
but more importantly, it must be inclusive, scalable, and built for India.
