69: Integrated, Not Isolated: Building Global Supply Chain Impact with Manika Bhargava

from She Supply Chains · host Supply Chain Experts | Katie Holman & Courtney Andersen

In this episode of the She Supply Chains podcast, we dive into the world of supply chain strategy with Manika Bhargava, the Director of Integrated Supply Chain at Dow. Manika shares her journey from being one of only eight people in her MBA class to major in supply chain to leading a global team in Mumbai that acts as a strategic "Global Capability Center" (GCC) for Dow. The discussion explores how these centers have evolved from simple cost-savings hubs into "innovation engines" that harmonize global processes and drive digital transformation through AI. Manika also offers tactical advice on process improvement, emphasizing the need to avoid "over-engineering" by staying focused on the end-to-end objective and sitting with teams to find the "hidden" bottlenecks not found in handbooks. ✨ Connect with Manika! 📱LinkedIn | Manika 💻Learn more on the topics discussed here: India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) Take Strategic Role In Global Enterprises By 2026 Supply Chain Trends for 2026 – From Agentic AI to Orchestration 💵 Arise Financial Check out Arise Financial Coaching and their Financial Goal Accelerator program, and let them know She Supply Chains sent you! ✨ Connect with us! 📱LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-supply-chains/ 📱INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/shesupplychainspodcast/ 📱TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@shesupplychainspodcast 🎧 Call to Action Follow She Supply Chains on your favorite podcast app Leave us a review — it helps more listeners find the show Share this episode with someone you think would love it
