TCS to Power New Government Initiative to Double India’s Covid-19 Testing Capacity through Supply Chain Solution
TCS through its supply chain solution is helping the Indian Government’s C-CAMP build, manage and scale an ecosystem of MSMEs to indigenously produce a million Covid-19 test kits a day TCS recently announced that it has deployed a blockchain-based digital supply chain platform that powers an ambitious new project launched by the Government of India’s Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) to scale up indigenous Covid-19 diagnostic test-kit production capacity to a million test kits a day. C-CAMP’s newly launched project, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, is called Indigenisation of Diagnostics (InDx), and aims to build a robust, scalable supply-chain ecosystem of Indian MSMEs capable of producing large quantities of reagents and other components needed for RT-qPCR-based and other diagnostic test kits for Covid-19. The project entails eliminating supply-chain bottlenecks, and handholding MSMEs to help them bridge capability gaps, meet necessary quality standards a...
