Preamble

Because the supply chain of yesterday cannot solve the challenges of tomorrow.

The supply chain is no longer just a cost centre – it is fast becoming the strategic engine for resilience, intelligence, sustainability and growth. Geopolitical shifts are redrawing sourcing networks, AI is moving from experimentation to execution, sustainability is moving from compliance to business value, and humans, AI and robotics are beginning to work as one. Leaders who act now will shape the next decade of advantage.

DISHA 2026, the 20th edition of IIMM Mumbai's annual signature event, brings these transformations together in one strategic conversation. As you engage with industry leaders across four themes, you will see your supply chain through a new lens:

Adaptive Globalisation:

  • How to build resilient, agile networks through China+1/2, friend-shoring
  • India-first sourcing, FTAs, multi-sourcing, geopolitical risk management
  • Strategic inventory and digital resilience – turning volatility into opportunity

Agentic AI:

  • Move confidently from AI pilots to AI-powered execution
  • Intelligent sourcing, spend and supplier intelligence, forecasting, inventory
  • Contract intelligence & autonomous decision support, backed by the governance, data and ROI discipline needed to scale

Responsible Value Creation:

  • Decarbonisation (Scope 1/2/3), circularity
  • Responsible sourcing
  • Traceability and ESG go beyond compliance to deliver measurable business value

Collaborative Intelligence:

  • Shaping the human + AI + robotics operating model through reskilling, process and decision excellence
  • Change leadership

Imagine returning with practical frameworks, proven use cases and a peer network ready to support your next move.
