Start the assessment →Three Gartner Leaders that can all run an enterprise planning process. The choice is almost never about a feature — it's about your ERP backbone, your industry's planning physics, and how much consultant weight you can absorb.
The stretch of India's west coast between Goa and Kerala by road, not itinerary. Second towns, fishing villages, the monsoon logic of the place, and the specific pleasure of going slowly through a coast that rewards it.
The book that explains supply chain risk better than any supply chain book. Also the book most frequently used to justify inaction dressed up as optionality.

Zuloma is a publication for thoughtful readers — the kind who would rather read for an hour than scroll for ten minutes. The work spans four lanes that, on a closer look, are the same lane: systems, places, books, and the questions of the moment.
It is written from inside the work — fourteen years of supply-chain transformations, a reading habit that predates either career, and a passport with too many stamps. Nothing here is in a hurry. Every piece is reported, read into, and rewritten until it earns its length.
No listicles. No "top ten" anything. No words that exist only to fill sentences. If you've ever closed a tab feeling slightly worse for having opened it, Zuloma is meant to be the other thing.
A single, considered email. One essay, one idea, one book worth your attention. No tracking, no clickbait, no “10 best” anything.
