In this exclusive fireside chat at Auto SCM Summit 2025, Michael Moebius, President and Chief Procurement & Supply Chain Officer at Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, joins Reji John, Editor of STAT Publishing Group, to explore how Bharat is powering global automotive value chains.

The conversation spans four key themes: building resilient supply chains through localisation and nearshoring, embracing digital transformation and Industry 4.0 in procurement, advancing sustainability through green sourcing and renewable energy, and India’s evolving role in Daimler’s global commercial vehicle network. Michael shares insights on risk management, supplier partnerships, AI‑driven visibility, cybersecurity, and the shift from cost arbitrage to value creation through innovation and skilled talent.

With candid reflections and practical strategies, this 45‑minute dialogue highlights India’s growing importance as a supply‑chain hub and closes with Michael’s reminder: “It is the job of all working in the supply chain to make the uncertain world as certain as possible to bring stability.”
