Founder & CEO · VYAN

Ashutosh Bansal.

28+ years · Supply chain · Strategy → Systems → Scale

Three decades in supply chain transformation across consulting, enterprise software, and operating roles — building VYAN because the planning paradigm I helped scale at PwC, IBM, and SAP is no longer the right one.

Why VYAN

Most enterprise plans break the moment reality shows up. A demand spike, a supplier delay, a tariff shock — and a single best-guess plan that took weeks to build collapses into a war room.

I started VYAN to fix that.

VYAN is an enterprise decision intelligence platform built for supply chains operating under uncertainty. Instead of optimizing for one future, planners evaluate decision policies — deliberate postures toward demand variability, supplier risk, and discrete shocks — and stress-test them across thousands of futures before commit. Service, margin, cash, and ROIC trade-offs become quantified choices — defensible to the CFO, livable for the planner.

Built on deep-learning demand forecasting, stochastic optimization, granular cost-to-serve, and agentic AI augmentation — in one cloud-native platform.

Background

Today I also lead an enterprise transformation practice that works alongside global manufacturers, technology firms, and industrial leaders on supply chain modernization programs — the work that taught me, deal by deal, why the planning category needed VYAN.

Twenty-eight-plus years in supply chain transformation across consulting, enterprise software, and operating roles. Previously Supply Chain Practice Leader at PwC and IBM, and High-Tech Industry Leader at SAP. Led programs at Nvidia, Tesla Motors, Vedanta Group, MKS Instruments, Anritsu, AMD, Unilever, TE Connectivity, Dolby Labs, Epiq, Siemens — alongside Nike, Intel, and Chevron — bridging strategy, systems, and scalable change.
