#supplychain #procurement #logistics #ai #diy In this episode of the Supply Chain Pioneers Nishith Rastogi, founder and CEO of Locus.sh, talks about his early start in programming, his work with AI and machine learning, and how AI has shifted from backend tools to front-end, human-facing systems. Nishith discusses fears of AI replacing jobs, arguing that roles will change while growth continues, and explains why logistics appealed to him as a real-world, constraint-driven problem with human impact. He outlines Locus.sh’s evolution from hyper-local last-mile routing to broader transport decision-making across surface, ocean, and air, serving CPG/FMCG, transportation, retail, and e-commerce. He also shares how his leadership matured, Locus.sh’s partnership with IKEA’s Ingka Group, and his vision for Locus as a software factory expanding into hardware and robotics.
