4. Logistics skill set in India – an overview
Industry landscape is changing fast, so is the need for supply chain management. However,
skillset transformation has not happened at the same pace which has resulted in a huge gap
between demand and supply.
Logistics sector needs 25 Mn additional workforce by 2022.
(Source : Transportation & Logistics 2030 (Volume 5 : Winning the talent race)
• India, over the next five years, will have significant growth of un-trained and under-
educated people
• India will fall short of real talent
• We will have a surplus that is not needed and a significant deficit that we cannot fulfill
• Additionally, the mismatch between jobs available and skill shortage will continue to grow
There is no professional skillset training & development institute in Logistics or SCM.
There is a gap between industry need and availability of trained/educated personnel.

10. Competition in news recently …
Coursera is an education platform that partners with top universities and organisations worldwide, to offer courses online for anyone
to take. The other players in the online marketplace are Edx, iAct Global. Amazon has announced to forge partnership with state-
owned National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT) to train 25,000 people over two years.
Strength Weakness
ThreatOpportunity
• Clear understanding of Business &
Technology capabilities to offer
courses online
• Unique service portfolio offering
courses by blending with systems
training & access to live
operations
• Flipkart’s brand, infrastructure &
job opportunities for top talent
• Business model can be copied but
would not impact significantly owing
to exclusive contracts with global
institutes
• Companies started offering courses
online but those are generic & not in
supply chain
• Lack expertise in developing the
content but partnered with global
institutes
• Flipkart’s user base of 75 mn
• GOI’s vision to enrich skill set
• Greater traction towards online
education owing to time &
geographic constraints, need for
professional certified courses for
career progression
• Huge demand for logistics &
ecommerce skill set further
propelled by GST & FDI
• Regulatory changes in the future but
the risk could be mitigated following
agile & asset light model under pinned
by campus solutions
• Global business learning partners start
offering courses directly but this will
be mitigated through non-compete
agreements with partners
