> Blockchain for Transparent & Efficient Supply Chains

Traditional supply chains suffer from inefficiencies, lack of transparency, fraud, and delays due to fragmented systems and reliance on intermediaries. Blockchain technology enhances visibility, security, and efficiency by enabling real-time tracking, immutable records, and decentralized trust among supply chain stakeholders. This initiative focuses on leveraging blockchain to create more transparent, efficient, and resilient global supply chains.

  1. Market Analysis

    Global supply chain management market valued at $20 billion (2023), projected to exceed $45 billion by 2030 due to digital transformation.

    $4.5 trillion lost annually due to supply chain inefficiencies, including fraud, counterfeiting, and mismanagement.

    Rising regulatory requirements for supply chain transparency (e.g., food safety, ethical sourcing).

    Major industry adoption by Walmart, IBM, Maersk, and other global corporations using blockchain to track goods.

  2. Project Description

    This initiative aims to implement blockchain-based supply chain solutions to:

    • Track product movement in real-time from origin to consumer.

    • Reduce fraud and counterfeiting with tamper-proof digital records.

    • Streamline operations by reducing paperwork and intermediaries.

    • Ensure ethical sourcing and regulatory compliance through transparent records.
