Ashwani Narang, Vice President & Head- Spend Management at SAP said, “India holds immense potential for intelligent Spend Management solutions. We at SAP are confident that India has the fundamentals to sustain our development trajectory. Our goal is to solve our customers' business problems in the most sustainable and innovative ways possible. Through Spend Management, we aim to empower the business to achieve its objectives, ensure continuity, and make proactive decisions in real-time.”
India is on an exciting growth trajectory, driven by the ambition to boost its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to a staggering $30 trillion by 2047. Considering the youthful population, massive technology talent pool, and a business landscape teeming with unicorns, this vision is well within our reach.
However, there's certainly room for improvement. Despite being a vibrant economy, India currently ranks only 38th on the Logistics Performance Index by The World Bank. The aim should be to break into the top 10! SAP technology can play a pivotal role in this journey. By placing data at the heart of intelligent supply chains and integrating AI, we streamline processes, enhance operational excellence, and boost efficiency.
