This pioneering collaboration represents a model government-industry partnership, enabling knowledge transfer, joint innovation and hands-on learning. By embedding digital logistics tools and SAP solutions into GSV’s curriculum, the partnership aims to create a future-ready workforce that meets the rising demands of India’s rapidly evolving logistics ecosystem.
