Top 15 Supply Chain Leaders in Health & Wellness Brands in India 2026
Health and wellness used to be a slow, pharmacy-dependent sector. That world is gone. Today, consumers expect sugar-free bars in 10 minutes, personalised gummies at their doorstep in two days, and Ayurvedic supplements that travel from factory to Europe without breaking a single compliance rule. Behind that shift are supply chain leaders who think very differently about risk, speed, regulation, and trust.
The Indian D2C health and wellness sector is witnessing a significant increase in consumer interest. A growing preference for healthy snacks, and natural ingredients is fuelling both online and offline growth. This surge is supported by changing lifestyles, urbanisation, and personalised health needs. According to the Indian D2C market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 40%, reaching $60 billion by 2027. Health and wellness remain a key contributor to this growth.
The new backbone of wellness: Supply chain voices shaping the Industry

It is the way networks are designed, data is used, and partnerships are stitched together across 3PLs, marketplaces, exports, and traditional trade. Senior leaders are rewriting global playbooks for Ayurveda, nutrition, and FMCG health, while emerging managers turn those ideas into everyday execution. Through their lens, we can see where the wellness supply chain is heading next.

If you want to understand how Indian health and wellness brands think about scale, you watch . As Global Head of Supply Chain, has spent over two decades turning complex networks into competitive advantages. His work spans transformation programmes, S&OP, sourcing, logistics, and customer service across categories, including chyawanprash and supplements, personal care, and OTC products.
Sehgal often talks about agility and resilience, and it shows in how Dabur runs its operations: diversified sourcing, strong regional hubs, and technology-led planning that can respond quickly to shifts in demand or regulation. His view of the future is one in which the supply chain is not just efficient but deeply collaborative – with suppliers, distributors, and even customers feeding into planning. For wellness brands operating across multiple channels and countries, that mindset is becoming the new benchmark.
Himalaya sits at the intersection of FMCG, pharmaceuticals, and animal health, which means its supply chain must meet very different expectations simultaneously. As Chief Supply Chain Officer and a member of the global executive leadership team, is accountable for knitting all of that into a single, end-to-end system. His background at Johnson & Johnson across Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific manufacturing has prepared him well for that balancing act.
At , Saini owns global manufacturing, procurement, quality, planning, warehousing, distribution, and customer service. He is helping steer the company through a phase where regulatory scrutiny is rising, export ambitions are growing, and consumers expect both trust and convenience. Under his leadership, the trend is clear: more integrated global operations, sharper quality and compliance controls, and supply chains designed upfront for multi-business, multi-market complexity.
Herbalife’s India business operates at a serious scale, with thousands of distributors and a turnover running into several thousand crores. Senior Director of Supply Chain, , has been at the centre of that engine for more than a decade. With 25+ years of experience, he leads demand management, inventory planning, and logistics in a category where product quality and availability are inseparable from brand reputation.
Under his watch, has leaned heavily on technology platforms for forecasting, scenario planning, and visibility. The company uses data logging for temperature-sensitive products, 3PL partners for distribution, and planning tools that help balance cost with service. Phutane’s perspective on trends is rooted in reality: sustainability will matter, but not at the cost of reliability; digital tools will multiply, but the real differentiator will be how they are embedded into day-to-day decisions.
Home-health devices and wellness gadgets have moved from niche to mainstream in just a few years. At Dr Trust, part of Nureca, sees that shift from both a sales and supply chain lens. With more than two decades across personal care, healthcare, confectionery, and retail, he now leads strategies that keep blood pressure monitors, oximeters, and other devices available across online and offline channels.
runs a hybrid model: procurement, vendor management, and inventory planning are tightly controlled in-house, while fulfilment and last-mile rides on specialist partners like Shiprocket. Gupta’s focus is on making that ecosystem feel seamless to the consumer – same-day or next-day delivery where possible, robust global logistics for imports, and steady availability during health scares or seasonal spikes. His career arc reflects a broader trend in wellness: commercial leaders who also deeply understand the operational backbone.
is part of a newer wave of brands that blend modern formats with clean-label positioning. To make that credible, the supply chain has to be both disciplined and inventive. As Vice President – Supply Chain, has built the backbone from “zero to one” and then scaled it across B2B, D2C, retail, and export channels. His earlier stints at Amazon, Tata Cliq, Bosch, and Tata Power add an e-commerce and industrial rigour to the mix.
Kulkarni’s work covers 3PL manufacturing, vendor management, warehousing, logistics, customer experience, demand planning, and packaging procurement. The patterns he embodies are now common across high-growth wellness brands: digitisation from the start, cross-functional ownership of customer experience, and experimentation with export routes. His approach suggests where the category is heading – lean, tech-enabled supply chains that can support global aspirations without losing sight of unit economics.
has long positioned itself as “luxury Ayurveda”, and its supply chain has had to match that promise of traceable ingredients, controlled manufacturing, and dependable availability for a premium customer base. Heading Supply Chain and Manufacturing, brings 15+ years across S&OP, demand and supply planning, project management, and customer service, including a significant stint at Mars.
He now oversees the end-to-end supply chain for 1,000+ finished SKUs and over 2,000 raw and packaging items across multiple factories and a lean but specialised workforce. Mohanka’s priorities reflect broader industry shifts: stronger focus on quality and regulatory compliance, tighter integration between manufacturing and planning, and a willingness to invest in process excellence as a brand asset. In an era where “natural” and “Ayurvedic” claims face more scrutiny, his work is part of what keeps the category credible.
sits in the fast-growing Ayurvedic nutrition and wellness space, selling everything from juices and gummies to powders. Its growth depends on a supply chain that can support experimentation with formats and channels without breaking rhythm. As Head of Supply Chain Management, owns that challenge, having previously led operations and customer experience within the company.
He is responsible for 3P and brownfield manufacturing, vendor relationships, production planning, inventory control, procurement, warehousing, logistics, and exports. Jain is also an advocate for automation and AI in customer support and operations, reflecting a trend in digital-first wellness brands: using bots and backend tools to manage a rising volume of queries without losing human oversight. His lens is very clear – the next advantage will come from supply chains that can respond quickly to consumer feedback while still running with industrial discipline.
has built its brand around radical transparency in ingredients and labelling. That philosophy has serious implications for the supply chain. As Head of Supply Chain and an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, has helped design the systems that support the brand’s rapid growth across categories and channels. His background in operations management and advanced programmes in logistics and supply chain give him both a conceptual and practical grasp of the field.
Sanghvi has scaled the function from scratch, overseeing strategy, planning, packaging, procurement, warehousing, logistics, and vendor management. Along the way, his team has experimented with new logistics solutions to cut delivery times and negotiated better packaging terms to improve efficiency. For him, the significant shift in wellness is that customers now ask “how” as much as “what” – how was this made, how quickly will it arrive, how is waste handled. The supply chain must now have good answers to all three.
positions itself as a one-stop health and wellness platform, spanning skincare, nutrition, wearables, and more. That breadth only works if the supply chain is designed for complexity from day one. As Supply Chain and Operations Leader, is doing precisely that. With experience across Xiaomi, Swiggy Instamart, and other high-velocity environments, he specializes in scaling networks from zero to 10x while maintaining tight SLAs.
At GABIT, his remit covers end-to-end strategy, network design, fulfilment centre build-outs, procurement structures, technology integration, and last-mile performance. He is part of a generation of leaders who treat health and wellness as a true omni-channel category, not a niche. Cross-border procurement, import planning, and data-driven decision-making are all standard tools in his kit. Through leaders like him, the industry is learning to think of wellness not just as a product play, but as a systems problem.
moved from being a niche snack brand to a national name in better-for-you foods, and its JV with ITC has only accelerated that trajectory. Behind the scenes, Senior Supply Chain Manager has spent years building a network that can support that kind of growth. He has helped set up multiple B2B and B2C warehouses across the country, servicing modern trade, general trade, and a long list of marketplaces.
Dash has led ERP implementations, sourcing initiatives, and cost-optimisation drives that cover raw materials, packaging, and logistics. He represents a wider wellness trend: brands that do not outsource their operational thinking, even when they work with many partners. Instead, they invest in internal supply chain leadership that can ask the right questions about capacity, assortment, and service trade-offs before growth pushes the system to its limits.
Direct-selling wellness companies operate on trust and reach. has built both at scale, with thousands of outlets, an extensive distributor network, and a portfolio of GMP and Halal-certified products. As GM – Quality, Sourcing and Supply Chain, sits at the junction of product integrity and operational reach, drawing on more than 17 years in the industry.
His responsibilities cover supplier qualification, quality systems, sourcing, and the logistics needed to support Vestige’s pan-India and international presence. The broader trend he reflects is clear: wellness brands cannot separate quality from supply chain anymore. Audit trails, certification, and consistent service levels are as much logistics issues as regulatory ones, and leaders like Rana are designing systems that embed those concerns from the start.
serves markets well beyond India, with Europe being a primary focus. Global Supply Chain Manager is responsible for ensuring international customers see the brand as reliable, not just “authentic”. With about 14 years of experience in supply chain and a firm grasp of forecasting, material planning, and analytics, he manages stock availability, serviceability, and shelf-life standards across borders.
His work includes setting reorder levels, managing buffer stocks, tracking forecasts, and coordinating with purchase, production, quality, and export teams. Dahiya’s emphasis on analytics, blockchain-style tracking, and structured tools mirrors a clear shift in the Ayurveda export space: it is no longer enough to have heritage; you also need systems that can withstand modern expectations on traceability, freshness, and compliance.
positions itself as a budding, Ayurveda-inspired lifestyle brand closer to a modern wellness label than to a traditional pharma player. To make that positioning real, its supply chain has to handle everything from herbal supplements to pantry products and teas. As Head of Supply Chain and Operations, brings experience from commercial roles in dairy and FMCG, giving him a firm handle on margins, sourcing, and distribution.
Chawla operates in a space where trends move quickly: new formats, new claims, and new channels. His job is to make sure the backend does not become a bottleneck to innovation. That means aligning procurement and manufacturing partners with Auric’s quality expectations, while keeping cost and speed under control. He reflects a growing group of leaders who see Ayurveda as an agile, brand-driven industry that still needs robust guardrails.
FemTech and women’s health are still underserved globally, and is one of the players trying to change that using Ayurveda and digital tools. As Deputy GM – Supply Chain, is building the operational foundation that allows that mission to scale. With experience across FMCG, fresh categories, and fashion, and an MBA from NITIE, he brings both analytical depth and multi-format exposure.
Prasad’s work at Gynoveda spans demand and supply planning automation, packaging material planning, 3PL warehouse consolidation, logistics partner management, and return-to-origin (51ż´Ć¬) reduction through data analytics. His focus on NDD/SDD partners and express delivery for specific clusters shows how wellness brands are borrowing quick commerce playbooks and applying them to more sensitive, subscription-like use cases. For him, the big shift is clear: women’s health products can no longer hide behind slow, opaque logistics.
is positioned around performance-based nutrition and supplements, and its supply chain must carry that same sense of rigour. As Supply Chain Manager, is responsible for the day-to-day mechanics: ensuring that procurement, inventory, and dispatch processes support the brand’s standards. With a formal background in operations and supply chain management, he brings structure to a fast-evolving environment.
Much of the visible narrative at Wellversed is about science-backed formulations and maximising human potential. The less visible part is keeping ingredients available, batches compliant, and orders flowing without disruption. Chaturvedi’s role represents many emerging managers in health and wellness: they may not set the headline strategy, but the way they run warehouses, vendors, and delivery partners is what makes ambitious positioning credible in real life.
Where wellness logistics head from here
Taken together, these leaders’ careers tell a fairly clear story. Health and wellness supply chains are moving from “supporting function” to “strategic lens” – shaping which categories brands enter, how quickly they scale, and which promises they can safely make to consumers. The next phase will not just be about adding more SKUs or launching more marketplaces. It will be about building networks that can handle regulation, personalisation, exports, and speed at the same time.
As these leaders share their views on what is coming next, one thing is already apparent: in wellness, trust now travels through trucks, systems, and dashboards just as much as it does through ingredients and labels.
