In a rapidly evolving global landscape, Yash Chauhan, Global Head of Neo Tangent, shared insights on the future of supply chains at the HFS Roundtable - Unchaining the Supply Chain. In the thought-provoking session, Mr. Chauhan discussed the imperative shift from traditional linear supply chains toward more resilient, interconnected ecosystems and emphasized Neo Tangent’s role in this transformative journey.

As supply chains face increasing complexity post-pandemic, driven by geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruptions, the traditional model of a single-route, single-supplier system is no longer viable. Mr. Chauhan illustrated this transformation through real-world scenarios, pointing out that every new disruption - whether geopolitical tensions or logistical challenges—necessitates a more robust and flexible approach.

“We are talking about a China plus X policy, which means supplier countries are more diverse, resulting in an ecosystem that includes multiple suppliers, routes, and regulatory requirements,” said Yash. This policy reflects a strategic shift to diversify supply bases across multiple countries, which demands sophisticated coordination between suppliers, logistics providers, and financial institutions.

Mr. Chauhan emphasized that the solution lies in “unchaining” or breaking free from traditional linear supply chains, which have, over time, functioned like a “black box.” This transformation to a more interconnected, transparent model, he explained, is essential for real-time insights into every facet of the supply chain, from sourcing to delivery.

In support of this shift, Neo Tangent is spearheading the integration of AI, digital tools, and data-driven strategies into the supply chain. Chauhan outlined several key initiatives Neo Tangent is implementing:

• AI-Driven Ecosystems: By incorporating AI use cases, Neo Tangent is helping clients gain predictive insights and enhance decision-making capabilities across their supply chains.
