Emergency manifest, March 2020
When COVID-19 hit, the supply chain stopped being a career and became a lifeline. No playbook. No precedent. Just a country running out of oxygen and a phone that wouldn't stop ringing. Sonik was on the ground sourcing, negotiating and moving at international scale, across both waves.
| Item | Quantity | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen cylinders sourced | 30,000+ units | Delivered |
| PPE kits distributed | 2,50,000+ units | Delivered |
| Remdesivir units coordinated | 400+ units | Delivered |
| Pandemic waves covered | Wave 1 and Wave 2 | Cleared |
| Emergency sourcing coverage | Pan-India | Cleared |
Nobody called it a supply chain problem when hospitals were out of oxygen. They called it a crisis. The difference between those two words is whether someone shows up to fix it. Sonik showed up.
