Tech Mahindra partners with StaTwig to implement ‘VaccineLedger’ globally

Pune: Tech Mahindra Ltd. has partnered with StaTwig, a Singapore- and Hyderabad-based digital supply chain solutions provider, to implement ‘VaccineLedger’ globally.

The partnership aims to roll out blockchain-based traceability solutions for global vaccine delivery, predict and prevent failures in supply chains, including problems related to expired vaccines, stockouts and counterfeiting. They will also work towards building global consortia of vaccine researchers, pharma companies, distributors and healthcare workers.

• StaTwig will leverage Tech Mahindra’s go-to-market expertise, including access to sales and customer network, domain experience, balance sheet support, resource scale and system integration knowledge.
• Tech Mahindra has also invested in co-development and testing of various enterprise security modules for the mobile and web application, to support the unique requirements from manufacturers and state governments.

“Our strategic partnership with StaTwig will enable supply chain participants with a single application to enhance traceability, and chain of custody,” said Rajesh Dhuddu, blockchain and cybersecurity practice leader, Tech Mahindra. “This will not only ensure safety and validity of vaccine supply but also helps in adherence to complex regulatory requirements, set up by Drug Administration Authority in any country,” said
