Supply Chain Hotspot

Hi, I am Chandra Shaktawat, and I am a supply chain enthusiast! I have started Supply Chain Hotspot to share the knowledge that I have gained and the experiences which I have had after working for some top consultancies as a Supply Chain consultant for the last 15 years across industries – FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, Technology and Oil & Gas.

Supply Chain is a fascinating field and it is incredible how stuff makes its journey starting as a raw material supplied by vendor to a finished product consumed by a customer across complex networks and geographies. We, as consumers, of course take this for granted, but the supply chain needs to work like a well oiled machine to deliver things on time without any ‘stock outs’ or wastage. At the most fundamental level, supply chain is just common sense but then, there is a lot of science and quite a lot of technology which drives a modern supply chain.

With this website, I will be writing about supply chain principles, concepts, processes, technology, trends and a lot more. I promise to cut out the jargon and hope to resonate with everyone reading the blogs. Whether you are a budding consultant or someone thinking of having a career in Supply Chain or a professional, I am sure there is going to be something for everyone!

Life is a continuous learning and I hope to learn a lot along the way as well!
