Chairperson’s Message

Greetings from the Supply Chain Management Centre, a Centre of Excellence at IIM Bangalore!

At IIM Bangalore, we take immense pride in being at the forefront of supply chain management education and research. In a world where supply chains are increasingly shaped by sustainability imperatives, technological disruptions, and geopolitical shifts, the Supply Chain Management Centre (SCMC) stands committed to addressing these complex challenges through world-class research, education, and industry engagement.

Our vision is to be an internationally recognized Centre dedicated to the creation and dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge in the field. Since its inception in 2007, SCMC has been a leader in education, research, and industry collaboration in supply chain management.

With a multidisciplinary team of distinguished faculty members of IIM Bangalore and active partnerships with leading organizations, SCMC advances the theory and practice of supply chain management through rigorous research, executive education, consulting, student projects, and industry dialogue. The Centre is supported exclusively by corporate partners across diverse sectors such as energy, automotive, technology, and supply chain consulting, ensuring that our work remains deeply connected to real-world practice. Through these collaborative efforts, SCMC delivers cutting-edge insights and innovative strategies to enhance supply chain agility, transparency, and sustainability.

In a time marked by urgent calls for climate action, SCMC remains committed to developing future industry leaders, identifying and disseminating best practices, and helping organizations achieve world-class supply chain performance. Recognizing this need, SCMC recently established the TCI-IIMB Supply Chain Sustainability Lab in partnership with Transport Corporation of India (TCI). The Lab spearheads research on decarbonization, circular economy models, sustainable procurement, and provides consulting services in carbon mapping, measurement, mitigation, and management.

As supply chains continue to redefine global commerce and societal impact, SCMC remains dedicated to creating actionable knowledge, developing future-ready leaders, and fostering partnerships that make supply chains not just efficient but sustainable and resilient for the long term.

We warmly invite researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers to engage with us as we shape the future of global supply chains together.
