India is going to need a centrally funded and run FEMA type agency to maintain strategic stockpiles of everything needed in a world where borders are harder , travel is dying and global supply chains iffy, plus state govts a mixed bag. NDRF is not it as its disaster relief... 1/5
Desi FEMA will need people from various manufacturing, IT, operations research, supply chain, finance , pure science and logistics .. maybe as a bigger adjunct to the proposed tri service joint logistics command 2/5
Needless to say ias cannot run the show in this. PM having to chair meetings on oxygen supply yesterday shows how things allowed to drift,lack of initiative at normal level. A few superstars/sage-kings cannot do, need process in all things to reduce the modi/napolean need 3/5
first task must be prepare a document studying 100s of essential products from lab diagnostics machines to power plants ,bandages/pharma api to see where we are on parts, materials, design IP & manufacturing. results will be eye opener to all must be published. Rate ourselves 4/5
Predictive systems are needed that trigger red flags like a medicine shortage in time than reactive. India has highest number of self proclaimed ai/ml/deep learning gurus giving gyan on linkedin. They must deliver solns and models that track, learn and predict not webinars 5/5
