Sood and his team created the whole supply chain from scratch, which involved scouring through all suppliers on earth to manufacture parts that had never been manufactured before.
Due to very high technical requirements, no more than 10 vendors on earth could do contract manufacturing.
The prospects were bleak at many points, with suppliers refusing to engage with a low-key startup energy company at the time. Finally, out of 16 potential vendors, the team picked suitable vendors and successfully created a multi-billion dollar worth of supply chain.
Finally, out of 16 potential vendors, the team picked suitable vendors and successfully created a multi-billion dollar’s worth of supply chain.
That was after some strenuous economic and technical due diligence processes, where Sood and his team drove to the European mid-winter to assess manufacturing sites that could be 900 miles away. Nonetheless, the total project time was 18 months instead of 5 years as it would normally take other companies.

What Do People who matter Say About Us?
I have experience with many of the well-known top-tier strategy firms but chose Global Supply Chain to support me on my supply chain projects. They always meet and exceed my expectations due to the quality of the work, the ability to work collaboratively with internal teams, and the flexibility to adjust the project approach when required.
When I engaged Vivek’s services for supply chain transformation in one of the companies I was heading, we expected the careful and methodical approach that he was famous for...
I was pleased to note that the original target set for 3 years was surpassed by almost 70% in just 18 months.
I have used their services for several business transformations and workshops in many companies. Each time an outstanding workshop and project result was delivered ensuring the success of the business transformation project. Savings surpassed $25 Million per annum in one case. Very powerful ideas, implemented very diligently.
The board were highly complImentary of the presentation and result and commented that they were surprised at the level of detail and quality of analysis contained in the report. This speaks to the fact that Vivek is a very capable practitioner, grasps the key issues early, and uses highly effective methodologies, people and communication skills to identify where and how to gather critical information.
Vivek is a very collaborative and open leader who leads teams by example. Whether internal teams, or clients teams, all are impressed by his intensity, energy level and drive to make things a little better.
Vivek and I have worked together in a number of different contexts. I've been impressed by his ability to clearly see how to maximise value through connections between businesses. If business operations are like lego bricks, Vivek is a Master Builder.
Vivek's transformation expertise is apparent from his results and dedication to operations and supply chains. His strategic expertise, knowledge and network make him a standout even among an excellent team.
