What is Supply Chain & Logistics?
Supply Chain & Logistics technology covers the full spectrum of systems that move goods from manufacturer to consumer — from warehouse management systems (WMS) that direct pickers inside fulfilment centres, to transport management systems (TMS) that plan routes for thousands of vehicles, to last-mile delivery platforms that coordinate gig-economy riders in real time. India's logistics sector is undergoing a massive transformation: Delhivery is the first tech-first logistics unicorn, Amazon has built one of the world's most sophisticated sortation networks in India, and quick commerce (Blinkit, Zepto) has pushed last-mile SLAs to 10 minutes. The National Logistics Policy (2022) and the PM GatiShakti platform are digitising freight infrastructure at scale.
