Indian-owned multinational conglomerate celebrates the milestone with Free Supply Chain Management Fundamentals Program for learners worldwide
New Delhi : In a
landmark achievement that underscores India’s growing leadership in global
supply chain excellence, Blue Ocean Corporation, an Indian-owned multinational
conglomerate, headquartered in London, has been officially recognized
with one of the highest global distinctions for professional development and
supply chain transformation. The organization is ranked No.1 globally
in Supply Chain Training and Consulting by the Association for
Supply Chain Management (ASCM), the world’s largest and most respected supply
chain management body.
The award was received by Dr. Sathya Menon,
Group CEO of Blue Ocean Corporation, from Douglas Kent, Executive
Vice President – Corporate and Strategic Alliances, ASCM, and Michael
Bunge, Chair-elect, ASCM, in the presence of international supply chain
leaders.
The recognition comes at a time when India is
strategically positioning itself as a global supply chain hub through
initiatives such as Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and
the National Logistics Policy. These government-led programs
emphasize strengthening infrastructure, lowering logistics costs, and building
a workforce capable of supporting sustainable and technology-driven growth.
Skill development has emerged as a critical enabler in
this transformation. With supply chains undergoing structural changes due to
digital adoption, sustainability imperatives, and shifting global trade
dynamics, the demand for a future-ready workforce in India is unprecedented.
This was echoed at the ASCM CHAINge Conference,
where Gina M. Raimondo, Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, remarked,
"supply chain disruptions are not going away. "The only way
forward is to build resilience by empowering people with new skills and by
embracing technology,”she added.
Blue Ocean Corporation has been at the forefront of
this agenda, embedding skill development at the core of its operations in
India.
In line with this mission, Blue Ocean Corporation has
announced an unprecedented initiative. The Supply Chain Management Fundamentals
Program will now be offered free of charge to learners worldwide. This bold
initiative, unmatched in the industry, is aimed at democratizing education in
one of the world’s most critical sectors. Students, young professionals, and
industry entrants, regardless of geography, academic background or experience,
can now access the knowledge that drives global trade.
“Being ranked No.1 globally in supply chain training
and consulting is a recognition of our responsibility to make knowledge more
accessible,” said Dr. Sathya Menon, Group CEO of Blue Ocean Corporation. “Every
economy and every individual is impacted by supply chains. By offering free
training in fundamentals, we aim to equip learners everywhere with skills that
shape global trade and daily life,” he added.
Founded in 1998, Blue Ocean has transformed the
careers of over 500,000 professionals worldwide and has earned more
than 30 international awards, including Superbrands, Great Place to
Work, and the Dubai Quality Appreciation Award. Strengthening its vision further,
the organization is guided by an esteemed board that includes globally
respected leaders such as Sourav Ganguly, former captain of
Indian Cricket team, Michael Proffitt, former CEO, Dubai Logistics
City, and Pushpinder S. Puniha, Chairperson of the Consultative
Group on Tax Policy at NITI Aayog, whose expertise and influence
add strategic depth to Blue Ocean’s mission.
With a strong global presence in the UK, UAE, KSA, and
Egypt, Blue Ocean has established itself as a leader in supply chain education
and consulting. In India, the organization operates from offices in Delhi,
Pune, Hyderabad, and Kochi and is undertaking significant expansion across Tier
1 and Tier 2 cities, aiming to extend access to world-class training and
consulting across the nation’s key industrial and logistics corridors.
India’s aspiration to become a global supply chain
powerhouse depends not only on infrastructure and policy but equally on a
skilled workforce capable of managing disruption and driving innovation. By
integrating international expertise with India’s growth priorities, Blue Ocean
is helping bridge this critical gap.
The global recognition by ASCM underscores how Blue
Ocean accelerates the nation’s mission to transform its supply chain
landscape and strengthen its position in global trade.
