About Dr. Pawan Agarwal
Dr. Pawan Agarwal is a celebrated supply chain management expert, author, educationist, and one of India’s most respected motivational speakers—yet what makes him truly remarkable is the humility and simplicity he carries despite his global acclaim. Known widely for his groundbreaking research on the world-famous Mumbai Dabbawalas, Dr. Agarwal has spent decades learning from real-life systems, real-life people, and real-life challenges. His journey is a reminder that excellence is not always found in boardrooms; sometimes, it is discovered in the lanes of Mumbai, packed inside a tiffin box that never reaches the wrong destination.
Armed with a PhD titled “A Study of Logistics and Supply Chain Management of Dabbawala in Mumbai”, Dr. Agarwal decoded one of the world’s most efficient delivery systems, one that operates with near-perfect accuracy, without technology, but with discipline, ownership, and heart. And that is the essence of his storytelling. Whether he is speaking to young professionals or top CEOs, he brings lessons that come from the ground, from observation, and from people who mastered time management long before it became a buzzword.
Dr. Agarwal has delivered thousands of keynote sessions across India and the world, including the US, UK, Dubai, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Kenya. His talks on customer satisfaction, operational excellence, and building trust within teams have transformed organisations across sectors. Hiring Dr. Pawan Agarwal means bringing in someone who has not just studied management, but lived it, understood it, and simplified it for everyone.
Beyond the stage, he is the founder of the Kamalabai Educational and Charitable Trust, through which he supports education and community initiatives, staying rooted in service and social impact. Having spoken at TEDx and addressed global giants like HCL, Microsoft, Volvo and more, Dr. Agarwal continues to inspire organisations to work smarter, serve better, and grow with purpose.
