Team Marksmen Network successfully concluded the 4th edition of the Supply Chain and Logistics Conclave 2025 on June 20th at the Hyatt Regency, New Delhi. Held under the central theme “Seamless, Sustainable, Smart – The Next Era of Supply Chains,” the day-long summit convened over 300 distinguished guests from business, government, and academia to decode the next big leap in India’s supply chain and logistics ecosystem.

The conclave kicked off with a welcome address by Rajesh Khubchandani, Co-founder & MD, Team Marksmen Network, who emphasized the need for unified action to modernize India’s supply chain infrastructure amid geopolitical volatility and technological transformation.

“This year’s conclave was a true reflection of where India is headed in the logistics and supply chain domain towards greater digitization, sustainability, and collaborative innovation,” said Rajesh Khubchandani. “With India poised to become a USD 484 billion logistics market by 2029, platforms like these are crucial to unite the ecosystem, break silos, and unlock transformational impact.”

The Chief Guest, Shri Manjinder Singh Sirsa, National Secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party and Minister in the Government of NCT of Delhi, addressed the audience with a vision for Delhi and India’s logistics future:

“Our nation is growing rapidly under the leadership of PM Modi, alongside the youth workforce and their innovative ideas. Delhi, with a population of over 30 million within just 50 kilometers, faces unique urban and industrial challenges, challenges that are fueling innovation. I’m happy to see this platform catalyzing ideas that align with PM Modi’s vision of building integrated logistics hubs across India.”

The Conclave’s agenda was split across the Main Summit, Manufacturing, Retail & FMCG focused tracks that sparked powerful discussions on topics critical to shaping a future-ready India. Sessions explored the role of AI and automation in supply chain agility, urban logistics and last-mile connectivity, rail freight modernization, green supply chains, reverse logistics, cold-chain innovations, and strategic procurement for global competitiveness.

Thought-provoking addresses and panel discussions also explored themes such as predictive analytics, supply chain risk mitigation, sustainable packaging, and the rise of diverse leadership in logistics, including a dedicated session on Women Shaping the Future of Supply Chains.

Some of the key speakers at the Conclave included Shri Manjinder Singh Sirsa; Dr. Ajay Dua, Chairman and Board Director of various companies, former Secretary at the Union Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Chair of the Advisory Board for the Supply Chain and Logistics Conclave, and an Advisory Board Member of Team Marksmen Network; Shri Kailash Gahlot, MLA from Bijwasan and former Cabinet Minister in the Government of NCT of Delhi; Shri Manoj Tiwari, Senior BJP Leader and three-time Member of Parliament representing North East Delhi; Dr. Surendra Kumar Ahirwar, Executive Director – Traffic Commercial (Rates) at the Ministry of Railways; Avinder Singh, Managing Director & CEO of ams OSRAM; Achint Setia, Chief Executive Officer of Snapdeal; and Amit Kumar, Senior Director – Marketing, Netradyne, among other senior leaders.

Umesh Madhyan, Chief Operating Officer from LEAP India, reflected on the sector’s evolution - “With purviews from various important industry stakeholders, and with technology becoming more localised, it gives us an opportunity to experience and witness how the industry is shaping and scaling. While our supply chain network in India is robust, it is important to figure out how we streamline and strengthen our network, especially for scaling India’s supply chain capabilities.”

The conclave also culminated with the Champions of Supply Chain Awards 2025, which recognised 30 standout individuals who are redefining excellence across supply chain, procurement and logistics. Backed by research from Coherent Insights, the awards celebrated innovation and leadership at scale.
