It covers everything from procurement and inventory management to logistics, manufacturing operations, and process improvement. With the rise of e-commerce, EV manufacturing, and India's manufacturing push under 'Make in India', operations professionals who combine domain knowledge with data skills are in extremely high demand — and chronically undersupplied.
