About

Hi, I'm Gowtham.

For seven years, I ran a PCB manufacturing company in Toronto. When COVID hit and supply chains collapsed, I found myself constantly searching for answers.

Should I stockpile components? Switch suppliers? Renegotiate contracts?

The news told me what was happening - port delays, chip shortages, shipping rates exploding. But it rarely told me what to do about it.

You know what actually helped? 

Conversations with other manufacturers facing the same problems. They'd share what they tried, what worked, what flopped. Those informal chats - operator to operator - were more valuable than any industry report I could find.

That experience taught me something: The best supply chain advice isn't in the news, whitepapers or consultant decks. It's in the heads of operators who've already done the work.

There's just one problem: That knowledge is scattered, hard to access, not written down anywhere.

The Conveyor exists to unlock it.

Every week, I interview top supply chain operators on projects they've executed - warehouse automation, tariff mitigation, AI deployments, last-mile optimization - and write in-depth articles based on what I learn.

My goal is to give you enough detail to answer two questions. Should I do something similar? And if yes, how?

If you're transforming your supply chain and want to learn from people who've been there, The Conveyor is for you.
