Paving the Way to Logistics Excellence Education's Role in Shaping India's Future Supply Chain Professionals

Abstract

he logistics industry plays a crucial role in the economic development of any nation, including India. As globalization and advancements in technology continue to reshape the logistics landscape, it becomes imperative for India to adapt to these changes. One key aspect is the need to enhance skills within the logistics workforce to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry. This research paper explores the emerging trends in logistics in India and highlights the significance of education in developing skilled professionals to drive the industry forward. This study outlines future growth potential in India's logistics sector. A mismatch between a skilled individual and the needs of the industry leads to inefficient corporate operations. To address this pressing issue, the government of India devised a solution known as Industry-Academia partnership, which involved taking a novel step in the Indian education system by introducing an apprenticeship undergraduate programme. Previously, education and employment were separated, but today it will be all around development of young generation students as well as the nation's economy.
