Industrial visits complement classroom learning on industrial practices. With this motto, IIM
Visakhapatnam facilitated a visit by a cross-section of participants of the PGPEx batch 2020-22 in the

“Smart Business Logistics” course to the Gangavaram Port on 16 April 2022. This port (managed by the
Adani Group) is fully automated, efficiently handling bulk cargo. Prof. Aalok Kumar (Course Instructor)
and Prof. PRS Sarma from the Production & Operations Management Area of the Institute accompanied
the students to provide onsite exposure to the students on smart and sustainable port operations.

The participants received an understanding of port
operations and the efficient turn-round during the visit, and

discussed the nuances of real-time, smart, and sustainable
port operations with the Senior Management Team. The
Port Team also shared the growth potential for the port
operations on the strength of adopting “smart” techniques
while appreciating the interest and understanding of
PGPEx participants about the domain.
