ZH_HK At the India Food Supply Chain Summit 2025, ISS GF’s FMCG lead Pranav Malik shared key insights on the future of food supply chain, food logistics, food import, food export, and agri logistics – positioning ISS GF as a trusted solutions provider in India.
The food supply chain has never faced greater pressure. From climate shocks to shifting trade policies, the way food is grown, moved, and consumed is being reshaped at every level. At the India Food Supply Chain Summit 2025, leaders gathered to discuss how India can strengthen its position in global food imports, food exports, and agri logistics.
Among them was Pranav Malik, Vice President of FMCG & Key Accounts who shared clear-eyed insights on what must be done to secure the industry’s future.
A Supply Chain Under Pressure
Today’s food trade is fragile. Geopolitical disruptions, climate change, and rising costs have exposed cracks in traditional systems. Pranav highlighted India’s critical role. With its vast agricultural resources, the country could be a cornerstone of global food logistics. But fragmented supply chains stand in the way. The solution? Modernization and digital integration to unlock efficiency, transparency, and resilience.
Technology Will Lead the Way
For Pranav, technology isn’t just a tool – it’s the foundation of tomorrow’s food supply chain.
- Blockchain for transparency and trust
- AI and IoT to streamline food export corridors
- Real-time monitoring to ensure safety and reduce spoilage
The message was clear: only through technology can the industry keep pace with rising global demand.
Learning from the Start-Up Wave
India has seen a surge of start-ups promising quick fixes to long-standing logistics challenges. But many stumbled. Why? As Pranav explained, the food sector is uniquely complex. What works in pharma or tech cannot be directly applied to agri logistics. True progress will come from collaboration – start-ups, FMCG players, and logistics leaders working together, not in silos.
Building Buyer Confidence Through Traceability
Trust is the new currency of global trade. Buyers in Europe and the US want proof that food imports are safe, authentic, and ethically sourced. Pranav underscored the role of digital traceability – from blockchain records to RFID tags – in ensuring confidence across the supply chain. For exporters, this isn’t optional. It’s the gateway to competitive advantage.
