Overview

The ET Edge SCM Summit – South Edition spotlights how Southern India is powering India’s rise as a global supply chain leader. As the world pivots toward resilience, sustainability, and tech-enabled agility, the southern states – Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Puducherry are setting new benchmarks in manufacturing excellence, maritime trade, and integrated logistics. Home to India’s most advanced industrial corridors, ports, and airports, the region connects factories to global markets with unmatched speed and scale. From automotive and aerospace to pharma, electronics, textiles, and agribusiness, the South blends traditional export strength with cutting-edge innovation.

This edition will bring together CSCOs, policymakers, infrastructure leaders, 3PLs, exporters, and tech disruptors to discuss the next phase of India’s logistics evolution — spanning green corridors, AI-driven ports, smart warehousing, climate-resilient infrastructure, and export diversification.

With its multi-modal advantage and strategic coastal access to ASEAN, the Middle East, and Europe, the South stands as India’s bridge to global trade. Supported by logistics parks, 3PL innovation, and skill development initiatives, the region is redefining how India builds, moves, and leads the future of supply chain transformation.
