Winning India’s talent war: Leveraging Human-AI collaboration in supply chain

February 25, 2025 1 min read

Around the world, companies are struggling to keep pace with evolving skill demands while facing difficulties in upskilling their workforce and sourcing new talent. The supply chain industry—particularly manufacturing—is experiencing an acute talent crisis driven by an aging workforce, fast-paced technological advancements, and a lack of interest among younger generations in factory jobs. According to Deloitte, the manufacturing sector will require 3.8 million additional workers between 2024 and 2033, with up to 2.1 million jobs potentially remaining unfilled by 2030.
 
Despite a strong emphasis on innovation, many organizations overlook the importance of retaining and upskilling their existing workforce. This talent shortage has significant economic implications, with a Korn Ferry report predicting a global shortfall of 85 million workers by 2030—potentially leading to an $8.5 trillion loss in economic opportunity.

Restrictions on cotton procurement irk farmers in Telangana’s Adilabad

Farmers expressed frustration over sales restrictions at cotton procurement centres, which resumed operations on Friday after an 11-day halt due to Aadhaar server glitches.
 
Having waited at ginning mills for over 10 days to sell their cotton, farmers were initially relieved when procurement resumed. However, their relief turned to disappointment as officials imposed a cap, refusing to purchase more than 37 quintals of cotton per farmer after 4

PM.

 
Mallaiah, a farmer from Chirrakunta in Asifabad mandal, criticized the purchasing limit, calling it unfair and an inconvenience to growers. He noted that such restrictions were being enforced for the first time.
 
Disgruntled farmers alleged that they were forced to bribe computer operators at the mills to sell cotton exceeding the 37-quintal limit. One farmer claimed he had no choice but to pay ₹2,000 to dispose of his 40 quintals of cotton. They urged officials to monitor operators and marketing secretaries at procurement centres to prevent such malpractice.
 
Farmers also reported that officials were rejecting cotton citing excessive moisture levels. As a result, many were forced to sell to private traders offering around ₹6,500 per quintal—significantly lower than the minimum support price (MSP) of ₹7,421 per quintal set by the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), leading to losses of nearly ₹1,000 per quintal.
 
Officials from the marketing department advised farmers against paying bribes and assured them that procurement hours would be extended until 6 PM.
 
Meanwhile, reports surfaced that some private traders were allegedly collecting Aadhaar cards and land titles from farmers to sell cotton to the CCI at MSP rates. Seven secretaries had already been suspended for issuing temporary registrations to farmers in violation of regulations.
