Independent supply chain consultants · Gurgaon, India
We are a boutique practice that designs, fixes and digitises supply chains — taking on scoped projects across strategy, planning, digital transformation and last-mile execution. We measure ourselves by what changes on the ground, not by the deck left behind.
Every engagement is led personally by operating partners Siddharth Srivastava and Sachin Jagtap, with specialist consultants contracted per project. Senior judgment at every step, and a team sized to the problem — never the other way round.

Practices
Each practice is a complete capability on its own. Together they cover the chain from the boardroom question to the last doorstep.
Where the network should bend — and what the bend is worth.
Footprint, flow and mode decisions modelled end-to-end, so capital lands where the network earns its cost.
Typically includes
One number the whole company plans against.
Forecasting, consensus and S&OP rebuilt as a single discipline, with inventory policies that hold under volatility.
Typically includes
Software that fits the process, never the other way round.
From process blueprint to go-live on platforms such as o9 Solutions and Oracle SCM — and adoption that sticks.
Typically includes
The four walls, run like a system.
Layout, labour and systems engineered together — from brownfield fixes to automated greenfield builds.
Typically includes
The most expensive kilometre, earned back.
Routing, micro-hubs and partner stacks designed for unit economics that survive scale.
Typically includes
Systems that must work where conditions are hardest.
Assessments, cold chains and distribution models for programmes where a stockout is never just a number.
Typically includes
20,000+ professionals trained across planning, warehousing and logistics — shop floor to boardroom.
Two-to-six-week diagnostics and commercial supply chain due diligence for investors and operating teams.
Partners step in as interim supply chain heads when the seat cannot stay empty.
Engagement model
We stay small on purpose. Supply Chain Innovations is a two-partner practice: we take on a handful of projects at a time, lead each one personally, and staff it from a contracted bench of specialist consultants we have worked with for years.
That structure keeps senior judgment on your problem all the way down — and keeps our incentives pointed at finishing, not extending.
Every engagement has a defined question, a fixed team and an end date. We sell outcomes, not presence.
The partners who scope the work are the partners who deliver it. No hand-offs down a pyramid.
Modellers, planners and systems specialists join per project — deep expertise without permanent overhead.
Models, playbooks and dashboards are documented and handed over. The capability stays with you.
01
Frame the question, fix the boundaries, agree what success looks like.
02
Data, site visits and operator interviews — the ground truth before any model.
03
Scenarios modelled, options costed, a recommendation the business can defend.
04
Stand it up alongside your team, then leave the tools and the skill behind.
Sectors
Deep enough in each sector to know the constraints before the first workshop — and honest enough to say when a problem sits outside them.

Networks, planning and route-to-market for high-velocity portfolios.
02
Cold chain, compliance-heavy distribution and hospital supply.
03
Omnichannel fulfilment and store replenishment at scale.
