862: AI, Talent, and the New Shape of Procurement in India W/ Dr. Swapnil Dubey

"In the AI regime, things are going to be disrupted. So be ready to be disrupted." - Dr. Swapnil Dubey

In a market as complex and fast-changing as India, procurement's role has transformed from tactical to strategic… and fast. As global manufacturers shift operations and Indian firms chase world-class performance, the need for advanced procurement leadership has never been greater.

In this Art of Procurement podcast episode, Philip Ideson speaks with veteran procurement leader Dr. Swapnil Dubey, whose four-decade career spans India's procurement evolution, from the early days of shared service centers to today's digital and AI-driven frontier.

They discuss how Indian procurement teams are matching their global peers, why AI could upend white-collar work, and where new career opportunities are emerging for the next generation. Swapnil also explains how local strengths, regulatory shifts, and new tech are shaping India's overall procurement landscape.

Listen to the full episode to hear Swapnil's perspective on:

  • Why executives at every level are now championing procurement
  • The true drivers (and blockers) of digital transformation in Indian firms
  • How AI will reshape talent, roles, and upskilling
  • Diverse career journeys to today's CPO seat
