Blue Ocean Academy

Leadership has many arenas. At IPSC Ahmedabad 2026, two of its finest met on one stage.

Mr. Sourav Ganguly, Member of the Board, Blue Ocean Corporation and former Captain of the Indian Cricket Team, didn’t just speak about leadership - he lived it in every word. He made the room laugh. He made the room think. And in the way only Dada can - he made every person feel like they could take on the world.

Dr. Sathya Menon, Chairman and Managing Director of Blue Ocean corporation, brought the quiet conviction of someone who has spent three decades making the world more skilled, more connected, and more ready. Every word carried purpose. Every story carried truth.

Together they spoke about building winning teams, backing young talent, leading under pressure, and what it truly takes to captain something worth building. They sparred. They laughed. They inspired.

The session moved from cricket to business, from personal stories to universal lessons and left every person in that room with something they will carry into their own leadership journey.

Blue Ocean Corporation’s flagship event, the 12th International Procurement & Supply Chain Conference (IPSC) 2026, held on 12 June at The Leela, Ahmedabad, marked a defining moment for India’s procurement and supply chain ecosystem.

Held under the theme “Atmanirbhar Supply Chains: India Leading the Rise of Global Trade,” IPSC Ahmedabad 2026 brought together some of the nation’s most influential industry leaders, procurement experts, supply chain professionals, policymakers, and innovators.

We were deeply honoured to welcome Shri Praful Pansheriya, Minister of State for Health, Family Welfare, Medical Education & Protocol, Government of Gujarat.

The conference was further elevated by the presence of Mr. Sourav Ganguly, Member of the Board, Blue Ocean Corporation, and former Captain of the Indian Cricket Team. In the much-anticipated Capt vs Capt session alongside Dr. Sathya Menon, Chairman & Managing Director, Blue Ocean Corporation, Dada shared powerful lessons on leadership, resilience, teamwork, and performance under pressure-leaving the audience inspired long after the session concluded.

The day featured a compelling keynote by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on leading through uncertainty and pressure, followed by four insightful panel discussions exploring some of the most pressing themes shaping the future of global commerce.

A proud highlight of the conference was the IPSC Awards Ceremony, where individuals and organisations were recognised for redefining excellence and innovation across procurement and supply chain management.

A heartfelt thank you to our Chairman & Managing Director, Dr. Sathya Menon, and Vice Chairman, Mr. Abdul Azeez, whose vision and leadership continue to drive meaningful industry transformation through platforms like IPSC.

To every speaker, panellist, dignitary, awardee, delegate, sponsor, and partner-thank you for making IPSC Ahmedabad 2026 an extraordinary success.
