VP Global Supply Chain Planning at Glenmark
Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Sourabh Sengupta, discussed in the
podcast “Optimising Supply Chains Across Industries: A

Deep Dive into Successful Projects” the complexities of the
operations domain across multiple industries. Mr. Sourabh, a
graduate of FMS with more than two decades of experience
in supply chain management and extensive knowledge

of demand and supply planning, distribution and delivery
organising, and supply chain optimisation projects in the
pharmaceutical, automotive, and fast-moving consumer goods sectors, imparted invaluable insights to the

war, or the Israel-Palestine war, as well as methods for constructing a resilient network. Anecdotes from

Glenmark, Cipla, and General Motors illuminated the unique challenges in each sector and demonstrated
how sustainability can be implemented. The podcast also highlighted the collaboration between the sales
and marketing and operations domains and the impact of AIML on operations.
