SNP is a user forum of supply chain practitioners and leaders across industry verticals with a single goal: To make India’s supply chain efficient, resilient and globally competitive by fast-tracking the Vision 2030 for India.

CII SNP forum is a supply chain alliance of practicing leaders, across user industry verticals, collectively working on supply chain efficiencies, in an Integrated supply chain network using technology as an enabler.

The forum is active since 2021 with a 40-member workgroup aligned both vertically for segments and horizontally from six functional domains. Currently, the forum is working on 6 projects tagged to multiple workgroups for implementation.

In the last 24 months, the forum has organized 4 national leadership events with the pre-event and post event follow ups in an online format with 25+ members as speakers and 200+ delegates for each event on an average.
‍

This online format is expected to continue and will not have geographical boundaries for participation. Going forward, training and certifications will be added, and the forum will be managed administratively by CII -Southern region.
