Prof. Debjit Roy (IIM A) did his PhD from the University of Wisconsin and while he was doing his research, he worked extensively in understanding the trucking system in India. In a country like ours, trucks are a major source of transportation of goods to different parts of the country maintaining the supply chain. And it is important to look into the importance of the same in the present day and age. In this video, Prof. Roy talks about the present trucking system, how to improve it, supply chain and its dependence on multiple factors, and most importantly, about the future of operations and courses you need to focus on. This is the second part of our interview with Prof. Debjit Roy, in this series of InsideIIM Professor of the Year 2020.

  Prof. Roy talks in detail about how the operations jobs are slowly transforming into logistics jobs. With the emergence of companies like Swiggy, Big Basket, Amazon on the forefront, it is proof that the world is moving towards embracing logistics and thus taking up courses related to them would help students immensely in finding the right job. He further talks about what it takes to choose operations as a career option, and what should be your liking to ace it. Also, Prof. Roy, with his over 8 years of experience in teaching at IIM Ahmedabad, spills the beans of the past, present and future of supply chain management in the country. You can read about what some of his IIM A students said about his teaching methodology here. This is part 2 And  Part 1 is here - IIM A Prof. On How COVID-19 is Affecting Supply Chain Ft.
