2-Year MBA in Logistics & Supply Chain Management
in collaboration with Safeducate

Chitkara Business School has collaborated with India largest Supply Chain & Logistics Company-Safexpress, to create a specialized MBA program in this field which covers a wide spectrum of topics including transportation management, lean supply chain, strategic sourcing, warehousing, performance -based logistics, constraints management, supply chain network design, and demand management.

Until a few years ago, logistics was rarely discussed in large corporations. Today however, effective logistics and supply chain management has gained immense prominence in corporate boardrooms. However, there are huge gaps when it comes to availability of quality manpower in this industry due to lack of formal education and overall industry perception. Safexpress and Chitkara University intends to fill these gaps by way of providing quality education, which has a right balance of theoretical and practical training in supply chain & logistics.

Safeducate was founded in the year 2007, when Safexpress- India’s largest Supply Chain and Logistics Company, envisioned the skill need in the supply chain & logistics industry. Safexpress has firmly entrenched itself as ‘Knowledge Leader’ and ‘Market Leader’ of Indian supply chain & logistics industry.
