TechGraph: What was the story behind the launch of Acuver Consulting? How did it all start?
Sunny Nandwani: I worked on the supply chain side of things globally. So, during a conversation with a colleague, who then became a co-founder at Acuver, Satyajit Jena, we got to talking about various challenges in the supply chain ecosystem and decided to take action and come up with solutions to solve these challenges.
Hence, Acuver Consulting was conceived in 2013, as a transformation solutions provider for retail and supply chain segments. Our Enterprise IT services are rooted in the innovation and accessibility-driven approach of Acuver Innovation Centre (AIC), wherein ‘Ideation’, ‘Productization’, ‘Patents’, and ‘Improvization’ are the four key pillars.

TechGraph: What do you think the supply chain industry’s future holds in the post-Covid era?
Sunny Nandwani: In the post-Covid era, the supply chain will play the lead role. It is moving from being a background character to a prime driver of the business. A major reason is that traditional supply chains allow limited wiggle room in terms of volume.
We saw that during the struggle to fulfill ventilator demand when the pandemic’s second wave hit. Therefore, a supply chain that is adaptive, resilient, and agile is the need of the hour. Also, the traditional global business model, optimized for cost, is over and done with. The future supply chain lies in optimization.
The supply chain needs to move out of the silos of the supply chain officer and be embedded more in the organization. To brave the waves and adapt to the disruption, the navigators need visibility, adopting technologies that allow transparency from source to the customer will be the new norm.
TechGraph: Going forward, what will be your major focus areas? What are your expansion plans?
Sunny Nandwani: Acuver envisions being the end-to-end digital transformation partner for retailers, e-commerce companies, as well as e-services, and 3PL players across the globe. We thereby aim at being their growth partner that helps them achieve scale, accuracy, time-efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
We believe that our core values of ‘Collaboration and Transparency’, ‘Innovation and Technical Excellence’, and ‘Integrity and Respect’ will play a pivotal role in doing so.
Presently, we are serving a customer base in over 9 countries through our presence in India and Australia. We are strategizing our expansion across geographies like Europe, and the USA.
It is further supported by the technological edge of our channel partners including IBM and SAP. We even aim to make the latest technology and ideas accessible as solutions to everyone in the organization and our clients as well.
