Abstract: The disruption caused by COVID-19 along the rapidly changing business environment coupled with the supply network complexity may trigger unforeseen disruptions and make supply chains vulnerable to financial losses and in extreme cases, it leads to a firm shut down. The research is an effort to introduce a conceptual model to evaluate sustainable practices and dynamic capabilities to ensure performance in a disruptive environment. Determinants were identified from the literature for the study of Sustainable practices and capabilities during disruption and uncertain business environment and are based on the concept of the triple bottom line. A research survey collected data from 153 consumer goods SMEs. structural equation modelling (SEM) has been used to analyse the structural model proposed. The analytical outcomes of this research contribute to the existing literature and enable practitioners to design and implement sustainable supply chain activities and monitor and evaluate the impact of such activities on business sustainability among Indian firms.
