On this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I’m joined by Rhea Rakshit, VP of Product Management at Sayari, a company helping organisations untangle the complex web of supply chain risk with data, design thinking, and a strong dose of social impact.

We talk about why traditional supply chain visibility just doesn’t cut it anymore - and how real insight starts with understanding who you’re sourcing from and who they’re connected to. Rhea brings a fascinating perspective, shaped by her background in social innovation and systems design, and years working on both the consumer and enterprise sides of supply chain tech.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why ESG is no longer just a CSR checkbox
✅ How forced labour, climate risk, and deforestation are being tracked with data-led approaches
✅ What “human-centred design” actually looks like in the context of supply chain software
✅ The difference between visibility and insight - and why it matters for resilience
✅ How global North boardrooms often miss the lived realities of their suppliers in the global South
✅ Why consolidating sustainability ownership under risk or compliance functions is a game-changer

If you’re serious about building a resilient, ethical, and future-proof supply chain, this conversation is a must-listen.
