Kaushik Ghatak

I've been fortunate to speak at supply chain, digital, and leadership conferences across Asia, India, and globally — and the conversations I value most are the ones that challenge the room, not just confirm what people already believe.

My speaking draws on 30+ years of practitioner experience at the intersection of supply chain strategy, digital transformation, and leadership development. I don't speak from research alone — I speak from what I've seen work and fail inside real organisations, with real constraints and real consequences.

Whether it's a keynote at a major industry conference, a panel discussion with senior peers, or a masterclass for an executive cohort, I aim to leave audiences with ideas they can use — not just ideas they can applaud.

Speaking themes

My talks are built around ideas at the intersection of business strategy, digital transformation, and leadership. They're practitioner-led, not theory-heavy — with real examples and a clear point of view.

How leaders can make better decisions when the environment is uncertain, the data is imperfect, and the organisation is pulling in multiple directions.

Formats I work in

Keynote

A 30–60 minute talk with a clear argument and a strong point of view. Designed to open up thinking, not just confirm it.

Panel Discussion

As a panellist or moderator, I bring practitioner perspective and a habit of asking the question the room is thinking but not asking.

Workshop / Masterclass

Half-day or full-day facilitated sessions for executive cohorts, combining frameworks, case discussion, and hands-on application.

Simulation-based Programme

Multi-session learning programmes using business simulation games — particularly for supply chain and digital transformation themes.
