Held under the theme “India’s Logistics Workforce for Global Competitiveness,” the event focused on emerging skill requirements, technological advancements and the need to align training programmes with industry demands.
Discussions covered workforce development, artificial intelligence, automation, global mobility and emerging career opportunities. Participants also explored how Sector Skill Councils could use government schemes, policy incentives and industry partnerships to address skill gaps.
LSC Chairman Cyrus Guzder said the logistics sector was undergoing significant changes driven by technology, automation and digitalisation, requiring a workforce equipped to meet global standards.
A key highlight was India’s achievement at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, where the country won a silver medal in Logistics and Freight Forwarding. The achievement highlighted the potential of Indian talent to compete internationally and the importance of practical training, apprenticeships and industry-aligned curricula.
The event concluded with the PRISM Awards, recognising contributions from individuals, institutions and industry partners towards skills development and employability.
