    Volatility, sustainability pressure, and rapid market expansion are forcing supply chain leaders in Asia to rethink how networks are designed and operated. In this session, Shihao-Andy Yu, Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain – International Region at Schneider Electric, takes the audience inside the transformation of a global supply chain built for uncertainty and long-term growth.
    From highly distributed manufacturing footprints to complex supplier ecosystems, Andy will share how Schneider Electric is using digital technologies to create visibility, predict disruption, and embed sustainability directly into day-to-day operations. The session explores how tools such as real-time data, predictive planning, and digital twins are enabling faster decisions, stronger supplier collaboration, and measurable reductions in carbon impact across Asian markets.

    Circularity and recommerce are gaining rapid momentum across Asia, driven by a fast-growing middle class, mobile-first consumers, and increasing pressure on retailers to balance growth with sustainability. In this session, Vishal Salunkhe, Vice President at Carousell Group, explores how recommerce is scaling across Asian markets, where affordability, trust, and convenience are redefining consumer value.
    Drawing on Carousell Group’s footprint across Southeast Asia and Greater China, Vishal will unpack the operational and supply chain foundations required to make circular models work at scale. Topics include building consumer trust in pre-owned goods, managing quality and refurbishment flows, enabling efficient reverse logistics, and localising recommerce strategies across markets with vastly different regulatory, cultural, and infrastructure dynamics.

    In this keynote, senior retail and supply chain leaders will gain practical, battle-tested insights into what it really takes to build resilient offline supply chains at speed. Based on his experience and growth journey at Pilgrim, Anirudh will explore how to optimise packaging for multi-channel distribution, select and onboard transport partners capable of handling rapid volume growth, scale systems and warehousing with predictive inventory strategies, and manage customer expectations across complex, fragmented retail environments. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for turning offline expansion from a high-risk operational challenge into a scalable and profitable growth engine, built around disciplined processes and genuine customer demand.

    As one of Singapore’s most complex and high-volume retailers, FairPrice Group has been on a journey to becoming AI-ready by first transforming its customer data foundations.Karen will share how FairPrice Group transformed disconnected customer data into a single “golden customer profile”, creating the intelligence layer required to scale AI across the retail business.
    Rather than treating personalisation as a destination, this keynote reframes it as a continuous journey, balancing ROI, ROE, and ROF while scaling AI responsibly across channels with the consumer in mind. For retail and supply chain leaders navigating omnichannel complexity, this session offers practical insight into how strong data, not hype, is what ultimately unlocks AI’s impact at scale.

    E-grocery in Asia is scaling at speed, but success depends on operational precision across fulfilment strategy, and last-mile execution, especially in emerging markets. In this session, Vishal Das, Vice President Group Category at BigBasket, shares firsthand lessons from building one of India’s highest-velocity grocery platforms.
    With a rapidly expanding network of hundreds of dark stores to support fast delivery, BigBasket’s growth illustrates what it takes to operate profitably in complex, infrastructure-constrained markets. Vishal will explore how BigBasket balances availability, substitution, cold-chain reliability, and basket economics while meeting rising customer expectations.

    In an environment defined by constant disruption, supply chain excellence has become a strategic differentiator rather than an operational goal. For large retail organisations operating at scale across Asia and the Middle East, the real challenge lies in delivering high performance while remaining agile enough to absorb volatility and change.
    Drawing on the perspective of Vikram Idnani, Chief Information Officer at Landmark Group, we will explore how excellence is no longer about isolated optimisation. It is about orchestrating people, systems, and partners to create resilient, high-performing supply chains that deliver sustained value today while remaining adaptable for the future.

    Asia’s retail landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift as digital and physical channels converge at unprecedented speed. Across the region, retailers are breaking down traditional silos to meet rising consumer expectations for speed, convenience, and consistency across every touchpoint.
    Mobile-first behaviours, super-app ecosystems, and dense urban fulfilment networks are reshaping inventory visibility, order orchestration, last-mile delivery, and returns. Consumers increasingly expect real-time availability, flexible fulfilment options, and frictionless experiences, turning omnichannel execution into a critical operational challenge rather than a purely commercial one.
    For retail and supply chain leaders operating in Asia, omnichannel is now a test of organisational alignment and operational maturity. Those that succeed are redefining seamless commerce by synchronising stores, warehouses, and digital platforms into a single, scalable operating model.
