The Pune-headquartered digital engineering giant has been named **Google Cloud Partner of the Year 2026** in the **Services & Industry Solutions – Supply Chain & Logistics** category, recognising its work in transforming enterprise supply chains using AI, cloud-native infrastructure, and Google’s Gemini stack.

## What Persistent Actually Built — and Why It’s Hard

Supply chain transformation sounds straightforward on paper. In reality, most enterprises are running on **legacy systems with fragmented data** — meaning no unified view of inventory, demand signals that arrive too late, and logistics decisions made reactively instead of proactively.

Persistent tackled this by building a **cloud-native data foundation on Google Cloud** that connects planning, inventory, and logistics operations into a single intelligent layer. On top of that foundation, they deployed **Agentic AI and GenAI capabilities using Google Gemini** — enabling enterprises to move beyond dashboards and insights into actual autonomous actions.

Demand forecasting, inventory optimisation, exception resolution, logistics management — all of it running in production, not just in pilot mode. That last point matters. Many AI deployments never leave the proof-of-concept stage. Persistent’s recognition is specifically tied to **production-ready deployment at enterprise scale**.

For context on how [supply chain management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_management) has evolved as a discipline — and why AI integration is the next frontier — Wikipedia’s overview is a solid read.

## What the Leaders Are Saying

Jaideep Vijay Dhok, COO – Technology at Persistent, framed the achievement around a clear destination: moving enterprises from **fragmented, reactive operations** to **connected, autonomous supply chains** that can sense, respond, and optimise in real time. That’s not a vision statement — it’s already happening for their clients.

Kevin Ichhpurani, President of Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud, highlighted that the award honours both strategic innovation and **measurable customer value** — emphasising that this recognition is grounded in real outcomes, not just technical capability.

## Why This Is a Bigger Deal Than a Single Award

Persistent isn’t a newcomer to the Google Cloud ecosystem. With nearly **two decades of partnership**, **50+ areas of expertise**, and **2,000+ certifications**, they are one of the deepest-rooted system integrators on the platform. Winning this specific category signals that their AI-first approach to supply chain is not just validated — it’s being held up as the model for the industry.

For manufacturing and retail enterprises still wrestling with siloed data and sluggish decision cycles, this is a clear sign of where the industry is heading — and who is leading it there.
