The conference will showcase the most recent innovations, trends, concerns, practical challenges and the solutions adopted in the field of Supply Chain Management post Covid Pandemic.
Venue
Considering the ongoing situation due to the pandemic and the uncertainty, the two-day conference will be conducted virtually via a suitable platform
