4th Procurement Strategy India Summit & Awards 2025
The task of procurement is one that all business types, large or little, carry out. Procurers have put a lot of work into creating strong strategies and activities that are in line with green sourcing over the past several years to achieve sustainable business success. In 2025, procurement leaders need to concentrate intently on achieving measurable performance enhancements and providing value to the organization despite ongoing disruptions. Data and analytics reporting is the leading initiative for the year, with 75% of companies implementing such efforts, an increase from 65% in the previous year.
With the challenges procurement faces today, such as global tensions and rising inflation, many companies are increasingly emphasizing the enhancement of risk management within their procurement processes. Executives are prioritizing the diversification of their supplier base, as having multiple suppliers helps safeguard against disruptions and enhances the flexibility and reliability of supply chains. While businesses are anticipated to strengthen their commitment to sustainability goals, skepticism surrounding sustainability appears to be diminishing
4th Procurement Strategy India Summit & Awards 2025 Mumbai is one of the country's premier dedicated conferences, that provides a common platform for the industry and other stakeholders to come together to discuss the key challenges, learn from the best practices adopted across India with focus on green procurement, strategical sourcing and latest innovations in procurement.
