abstract

The role of technology in streamlining supply chain processes in India has become increasingly critical in enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness. This paper examines various technological advancements, including automation, artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), and their applications within the Indian supply chain landscape. By leveraging these technologies, businesses can improve visibility, optimize inventory management, enhance demand forecasting, and reduce lead times. The research highlights case studies illustrating successful technology adoption and its positive impact on supply chain performance. Additionally, the paper discusses challenges such as infrastructure limitations, skill gaps, and resistance to change that impede technology integration. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the need for a strategic approach to technology implementation, considering the unique dynamics of the Indian market, to achieve sustained improvements in supply chain processes.
