Akshat Diwakar Sinha
Summary
Pragmatic and globally seasoned supply chain leader with 6+ years of hands-on experience improving logistics networks across India, West Africa, Europe and the US. I specialize in simplifying complex supply chains—whether it's navigating hazmat regulations, reducing freight costs, or making sense of uncertain forecasts. I've led operations for fast-scaling startups and managed multi-modal projects across borders, blending execution with strategy. I believe great supply chains don't just move goods—they create resilience, speed, and trust at every link.
