The ‘Logistics for All’, a CII initiative, engaging all stakeholders, is critical to realise the vision of positioning India as a global logistics hub. This initiative will create numerous opportunities, offering aspirational careers that span industries and geographies. This initiative will offer career growth, job satisfaction, and leadership opportunities in the increasingly important human-machine collaboration,” said R Dinesh, Chairman, CII-Institute of Logistics Advisory Council, in the release.
The logistics sector is expected to generate significant employment opportunities, with an estimated 1.5 to 1.7 crore jobs within India by 2030. The logistics sector in India is fueled by the growth of e-commerce, manufacturing, and Global Capability Centres (GCCs). India has already emerged as a preferred GCC hub for global enterprises seeking efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and innovation, says a CII release.
India has all the essential elements to emerge as a global leader in logistics. The country boasts a rapidly developing logistics infrastructure, which lays a strong foundation for seamless connectivity and efficient supply chain management. Complementing this growth is a diverse and skilled workforce that spans all levels of management, ensuring expertise and adaptability across the sector.
