History will remember the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as one of the biggest black swan events. The economic and social disruption caused by COVID-19 is expected to be far worse than that of the 2008-09 Global Financial Crisis; and perhaps might even beat the Great Depression of the 1930s. The economic impact of COVID-19 has been a function of the magnitude and speed at which it continues to spread and the duration over which it lasts. With globally integrated supply chain models completely disrupted, the pandemic has had long lasting impact globally, on all fronts social, political, technical, industrial and economic. Hampered by the pandemic in the first half of the year, the supply chain industry has bounced back later with shorter lead times, better at-door experience, and increased safety.

The global supply chain industry has grown over the years and marked significant improvements in the department, especially with the help of digitization and solutions in supply chain and logistics. With the advent of technology, the capabilities, functioning of every

department of logistics i.e. from packaging and labeling to shipment, transport, and last mile delivery have changed immensely in the industry. It’s clear that supply chain industry, once seen as a supporting service sector, has transformed into an essential and mainline sector and the major credit of this sector’s boom goes to the industry leaders who have brought their expertise to the best use.
