This rapid transformation is expected to generate 1.5 to 1.7 crore jobs within India by 2030.

K.V. Mahidhar, Executive Director and Head of CII-Institute of Logistics, said since logistics serves as a key enabler for manufacturing and agriculture through efficient storage and transportation services, the need for a highly skilled workforce is paramount. Managing the complexities of both domestic and global supply chains with higher efficiency requires specialised training.
