What supply chain professionals in India should know before going online
Supply chain roles in India cover procurement, production planning, inventory, warehousing, transport and export-import, across manufacturing, FMCG, pharma, e-commerce and third-party logistics firms. GST invoicing and e-way bills affect most movement of goods, so practical experience with them is worth naming. Many roles need coordination with transporters, vendors and warehouses across states, and travel readiness is often asked. Export-import roles involve customs brokers and shipping lines, so describe the documentation you have handled. SAP experience is a common requirement in large companies. Keep supplier names, prices and contract terms off the site, and describe improvements in relative terms. If you have worked during monsoon disruptions or peak festive demand, those are useful stories to tell.
Common website mistakes supply chain professionals make
- Describing only purchasing or only logistics when your role spanned more. Show how your work connected across the chain.
- Sharing supplier prices, contracts or freight rates. These are confidential and should stay out.
- Listing SAP without saying which modules and tasks. Name the module and what you did, such as purchase orders or inventory reports.
- Skipping compliance work. GST, e-way bill and customs experience often decides a shortlist.
- Using jargon that hides your impact. Explain the business problem and what improved in plain words.
