From Cars to Cookies to Code – My Journey in Supply Chain 🚗🍪💻

My journey into supply chain management began when I joined Toyota, the gold standard for Just-in-Time, Kanban, lean manufacturing, and the pull system that made zero inventory a reality.

I carried those principles to Britannia, where I worked across the end-to-end supply chain as CHRO and CIO by implementation of Adavanced Planning and Optimization ( APO) SAP modules to help transform it into one of India’s most respected FMCG brands.

Then I asked myself… what if these principles could be applied to people?

Then, I took these learnings into the world of talent — creating a People Supply Chain model at Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). This improved on-time demand fulfillment, boosted profitability per employee, and elevated the candidate and employee lifecycle experience.

When CSC merged with HP to become DXC, my passion for talent supply chain management grew stronger. Later at EY GDS, I had the opportunity to set up a global talent supply chain management function from the ground up.

Now, I’m bringing this experience to the Global HR Community Talent Supply Chain Roundtable — where we’ll:

✅ Research & develop next-gen talent supply chain models

✅ Build skills across workforce planners, demand managers, recruiters, internal resource managers, and schedulers, skilling professionals , HR and People Managers / leaders .

✅ Integrate reskilling, cross-skilling, upskilling, and labor economics into rewards and compensation frameworks

✅ Harness AI & converging technologies to drive business growth and exceptional employee experiences

💡 AI + converging tech + workforce skills = next-gen talent supply chains that drive growth and exceptional experiences.

I’ll be personally leading this roundtable — and I invite you to join me in shaping the future of talent supply chains.

💡 Let’s drive exceptional business growth while monetizing value through outstanding customer & employee experience.
