Discovery Consulting has appointed Shobhit Garg as its National Supply Chain Practice Lead as Australian manufacturers increase adoption of cloud-based ERP and digital supply chain solutions.
This appointment is positioned to expand Discovery Consulting's Digital Supply Chain capabilities, particularly as manufacturers and asset-intensive sectors across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region pursue operational modernisation using new ERP technologies. Garg brings more than two decades of SAP experience across manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, mining and discrete industries to the role.
Extensive experience
Garg began his career in 2001, gaining early exposure to shop floor operations in the manufacturing sector. This first-hand insight into manufacturing operations was followed by a transition into enterprise technology, where he contributed to SAP implementations in the United States, India, Asia-Pacific, and Australia. Garg has worked with large consulting firms such as Deloitte, Accenture, KPMG, and NTT DATA. His specialist expertise lies in S/4HANA Manufacturing and SAP Digital Supply Chain solutions, and he has delivered major projects for clients including General Electric, Novartis, Goodman Fielder, and Nutrition Care Pharma.
Discovery Consulting has indicated that Shobhit Garg will focus on supporting mid-sized and asset-intensive manufacturers as they transition away from legacy systems and spreadsheets towards more integrated and scalable ERP platforms. This comes as more manufacturers in Australia seek to address the challenges of operational silos and the need for real-time visibility across supply chains.
Market dynamics
The move responds to a significant shift within Australia's manufacturing and resources sectors towards cloud-based enterprise technology. Businesses seek solutions that allow them to streamline operations, reduce costs, and maintain competitiveness in an environment shaped by regulatory demands and global competition. "I'm thrilled to join Discovery Consulting at such a pivotal time," said Garg. "There's a clear appetite in the Australian market for more integrated, agile, and cost-effective solutions, particularly among manufacturing and mining businesses. As smaller manufacturers move away from manual processes and spreadsheets, S/4HANA public cloud offers a scalable entry point to end-to-end digital transformation and a step closer to achieving operational excellence."
In his new capacity, Garg will be responsible for building and leading the SAP Digital Supply Chain practice. This includes hiring dedicated consultants and developing specialised solutions that address the evolving needs of regional manufacturers and asset-intensive enterprises.
Leadership comments "We're pleased to welcome Shobhit to the team," shared Rod Gallagher, CEO of Discovery Consulting. "His outstanding track record and deep understanding of manufacturing and supply chain challenges offer our clients a unique advantage in their digital transformation journey. Shobhit will play a key role in accelerating our growth and enhancing our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions to clients across Australia and beyond."
Shobhit Garg is also expected to contribute to Discovery Consulting's strategy in the manufacturing and asset-intensive sectors, building on his experience as both a solution architect and program manager. He has managed greenfield and brownfield SAP projects globally and is noted for his expertise in guiding companies from legacy platforms to centralised, cloud-based SAP architectures.
Discovery Consulting aims to address the increasing digitisation witnessed in these industries, assisting businesses as they update their technology to meet the demands of a rapidly shifting market.
