Autodesk Construction India Forum Ahmedabad Edition April 2026

Overview

After three strong editions, Chain Reaction returns to New Delhi – with the same intent it started with: get the right people in the room, have the honest conversation, and leave thinking a step ahead by leveraging the collective experience of the community.

This edition centres on one of the most consequential shifts underway in the industry: how AI is changing the nature of supply chain decisionmaking. The reality of it, as it’s unfolding right now.

Because in reality, logistics networks don’t move in clean layers.

Rates shift, capacity tightens, plans change and decisions must keep up across procurement, execution, and payments.

What’s starting to matter more is the data behind those decisions. How well it reflects what’s actually happening across lanes, carriers, and contracts.

And how it’s used.

Not just to analyse after the fact but to make calls as things move.
