New Delhi, India — November 27, 2026 

As geopolitical conflicts intensify and global trade routes face mounting disruption, supply chains across industries are entering one of their most fragile phases in decades. Against this backdrop, the India Supply Chain Summit (ISCS) 2026 is set to bring together top industry leaders to confront a defining question of our time: how to keep supply chains running in a world that is increasingly unpredictable. 

Taking place on November 27, 2026, at The Grand, New Delhi, the summit will convene 40+ global speakers, 300+ senior delegates, and 20+ sponsors and exhibitors, creating one of India’s most focused and high-stakes industry gatherings on supply chain resilience. 

Organized by the Journal of Supply Chain, ISCS 2026 is not positioned as just another industry conference. It is being framed as a strategic response platform to the growing instability affecting global trade, logistics, and manufacturing ecosystems. 

The urgency is real. From conflict-driven trade bottlenecks to sanctions reshaping supply routes, companies are facing disruptions that are no longer temporary shocks but long-term structural shifts. Traditional supply chain models—optimized for cost and efficiency—are proving inadequate in a world defined by uncertainty. 

ISCS 2026 will directly address this shift, bringing together decision-makers who are actively redesigning their supply chains to withstand shocks, adapt quickly, and maintain continuity. 



The Crisis Shaping the Agenda
 

  • Ongoing geopolitical tensions disrupting global trade flows  

  • Increasing reliance on high-risk supply corridors  

  • Rising logistics costs and transportation bottlenecks  

  • Exposure to sanctions, compliance risks, and trade restrictions  

  • Limited visibility across multi-tier supplier networks  

These challenges are no longer theoretical—they are impacting real business outcomes across sectors including manufacturing, pharma, energy, and technology. 

The summit will focus on how organizations are responding to this new reality by fundamentally rethinking their supply chain strategies. 


What Industry Leaders Will Address
 

  • How to build resilient and shock-proof supply chains  

  • Strategies for supplier diversification and risk mitigation  

  • The shift toward nearshoring and regional supply ecosystems  

  • Leveraging AI, data, and control towers for real-time decision-making  

  • Designing crisis-ready supply chain operating models  

Unlike traditional conferences that focus on trends, ISCS 2026 is designed to deliver execution-level insights from leaders who are actively managing disruption on the ground. 

A major theme running through the summit will be the role of technology. While AI and digital tools promise greater visibility and efficiency, many organizations are still struggling with fragmented systems and slow adoption. The discussions will go beyond hype to examine what is actually working—and what is not. 

Inside ISCS 2026 

  • 40+ speakers from global enterprises, consulting firms, and industry leaders  

  • 300+ curated delegates including CXOs and senior decision-makers  

  • 20+ exhibitors showcasing supply chain and logistics innovations  

  • High-intensity panel discussions focused on real-world challenges  

  • Closed-door networking enabling meaningful business conversations  

India’s position in this evolving global landscape will also take center stage. As companies rethink their dependence on single geographies, India is emerging as a key alternative. However, capturing this opportunity will require faster execution, stronger infrastructure, and deeper industry collaboration. 

ISCS 2026 aims to accelerate this transition by aligning stakeholders around actionable solutions. 

Why This Summit Matters Now 

  • Supply chain disruptions are no longer temporary—they are structural  

  • Businesses need immediate strategies, not long-term theory  

  • India has a narrow window to position itself as a global supply chain hub  

  • Collaboration between industry and policy is critical for execution  

What makes ISCS different is its willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. The summit is known for encouraging honest discussions, including gaps between policy announcements and on-ground realities—conversations that are often avoided in traditional industry forums. 

Call for Sponsors and Strategic Partners 

With a highly targeted audience and a crisis-driven agenda, ISCS 2026 offers a unique opportunity for organizations to position themselves at the center of industry transformation. 

  • Direct access to decision-makers shaping supply chain strategy  

  • High-impact brand visibility in a focused environment  

  • Opportunities to lead conversations and showcase solutions  

  • Strong pipeline for business development and partnerships
