Venkatram, Vice President, APAC Planning and Logistics Head, LEGO "The Supply Chain Revolution is a brilliant, clear, and simple guide for corporate executives who want to transform their supply chain.

Supply chains have become more complex in the last three decades as a result of globalization, the increasing pace of innovation, and competitive intensity.

Well done, Suman . . . . eagerly awaiting future insights."-- Yogesh Gupta, Vice President (Global Operations), Cargill Business Services "The Supply Chain Revolution provides a lucid commentary of some of the most basic supply chain challenges frustrating senior management across different industries.
