The launch comes against the backdrop of sustained growth in the global and Indian supply chain landscape. The global supply chain management market, estimated at USD 29.34 billion in 2025, is expected to rise to USD 72.82 billion by 2034, reflecting a CAGR of 10.40%.In India, the sector continues to gain momentum through digital adoption, infrastructure upgrades and policy-led manufacturing growth. The country’s export opportunity is expanding across sectors, with electronics exports to the United States alone projected to touch USD 80 billion by 2030. India’s overall exports, meanwhile, could approach USD 1 trillion by the end of the decade, reinforcing the need for professionals who can navigate large-scale, technology-enabled and globally dispersed supply systems.
David J. Frayer, Ph.D., Assistant Dean, Outreach & Engagement, The Eli Broad College of Business, Michigan State University said, “Supply chain leadership today demands far more than operational oversight; it calls for strategic thinking, cross-functional fluency and the ability to respond to global disruption with discipline and speed. Through this programme, we aim to help professionals deepen their understanding of how supply chains create value, manage risk and support long-term business resilience across increasingly interconnected markets worldwide.”
Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro said, “As organisations place greater strategic weight on resilient and responsive supply networks, the need for rigorous, practitioner-relevant education has become more pronounced. This programme reflects our commitment to bringing globally respected learning to ambitious professionals who want to strengthen their capabilities in procurement, logistics, planning and international operations while continuing to grow within demanding career environments.”
The programme is designed for professionals seeking to deepen expertise in global supply chain strategy and operations. It is particularly suited for supply chain and operations managers, logistics, procurement and sourcing professionals, and mid- to senior-level executives managing regional or global supply networks.
The first phase of the Master Certificate in Global Supply Chain Management consists of two eight-week core modules in supply chain management. These modules cover key areas such as Customer Service and Channels, Business Models and Sourcing, Forecasting, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, Inventory Management, Transportation and Warehousing, Supply Chain Integration and Performance Measurement, etc. After completing the foundational modules, participants progress into their chosen specialisation for a further eight weeks.
