Mr. Amrendra Khatua delivered a thought-provoking leadership talk on the theme War, Supply Chain and Global Market: Business Lessons from Asian Conflicts. His address centered on the Iran war and its far-reaching consequences for global trade, energy security, and financial markets. He explained that Iran, as a major supplier of crude oil, provides nearly 40% of Asia’s crude imports, and with 80–90% of India’s oil passing through the Gulf of Hormuz, the region’s stability is vital for India’s economy. The war disrupted this supply chain and created volatility in global markets.

Mr. Khatua highlighted how gold prices surged during the conflict as investors sought safe havens, while financial markets experienced currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures. Real estate investments in Dubai collapsed, with property prices falling by 82%, and foreign banks faced severe setbacks. He emphasized that energy security is a critical asset, noting that India’s stock reserves of 35–40 days would be insufficient to sustain prolonged disruptions. The war also exposed vulnerabilities in supply chain management, from Qatar’s CNG supply to India’s basmati rice exports, and underscored the importance of diversifying trade routes and reserves.

He connected these economic shocks to broader geopolitical theories, explaining how global domination strategies and war policies often revolve around securing energy monopolies. The hospitality, banking, and real estate sectors were among the worst hit, while African countries are on the verge of suffering increased poverty due to inflation and disrupted  supply chains. Reconstruction costs and recovery processes were identified as long-term challenges for war-affected nations. The impact on job market also pose critical challenges for India.

Mr. Khatua concluded by stressing that wars are not only military conflicts but also economic disruptions with cascading effects on supply chains, cargo movement, and demand recovery. For India, heavily reliant on Gulf oil imports, the lesson is clear: strengthening energy security, diversifying supply chains, and building resilience in critical sectors are essential to withstand global uncertainties. His talk offered a sobering reminder that business leaders must prepare for inflationary shocks, currency volatility, and geopolitical risks, while also recognizing opportunities for recovery and growth once stability returns.

The session was very informative and interactive with PGDM students participating in question answer rounds.

The program began with a formal inaugural ceremony which started with the lamp lighting ceremony by the dignitaries.

He suggested that regular awareness programs should be conducted to educate students and a positive and supportive environment helps in preventing such problems.

He then invited Smt. Shweta Kumari Yadav to address the audience, marking the official start of the event. During her address, ACP Yadav outlined the primary objectives of Operation Prahar, which include controlling and reducing organized crime. Emphasis was placed on ensuring strict and immediate legal action against offenders, thereby creating a sense of fear among criminals while simultaneously instilling confidence among law-abiding citizens. She explained that, under this approach, the police do not wait for crimes to occur but instead take preventive measures in advance. These measures include intelligence gathering, monitoring suspicious activities, and conducting preventive arrests. She noted that such actions help in identifying potential threats early and effectively controlling crime at its initial stages.

The session also highlighted the collaborative role of various specialized police units involved in Operation Prahar. ACP Yadav mentioned that teams such as the Anti-Narcotics Team, SWAT Team, and Anti-Romeo Squad work in coordination, each performing specific roles to ensure the success of the operation. This integrated approach enhances efficiency and strengthens enforcement mechanisms.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on drug control, particularly in the second phase of Operation Prahar. ACP Yadav emphasized that special attention is given to areas surrounding schools and colleges to safeguard students and youth from drug abuse. She reiterated that strict legal action is taken against individuals involved in drug supply and related activities.

Explaining the implementation strategy, ACP Yadav described the use of simultaneous raids conducted across multiple locations. This approach prevents criminals from escaping and reduces the risk of information leakage. She further cited examples from regions such as Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar) and Hapur (Meerut Range), where the operation has shown positive results in improving crime control.

The session concluded with a photo session of  dignitaries with the faculty members and the students and national anthem. It  enhanced students’ understanding of public safety, awareness, and the broader impact of drug-related crimes on society.
