About our Hosts & Partners:
I'm Gowtham Ramachandran, founder and writer of The Conveyor. I spent seven years running an electronics manufacturing company. When COVID hit, it exposed how fragile my supply chain was - and how hard it was to find practical advice to help me improve it. I started writing The Conveyor to change that. My goal is to help professionals improve their supply chain.
