To succeed – you need to do the right things often enough and long enough

On the customer service front, we have, if I may say so, totally gone by the saying of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, that “the customer is our God”. We have always believed in providing a totally satisfactory level of service to our principals and their clients. This is what has been mainly instrumental in us building a world class Organisation with a strong client base. Another most important factor for efficient handling of the Tramp/Liner Shipping business is the ability to focus, in a balanced manner, on each and every aspect of our involvement with principals, vis-à-vis marketing, operations and finance. Our enduring relationship with principals and their repeated acknowledgement of our having handled various issues most efficiently/successfully, on their behalf locally and internationally provides an ample proof of their continued confidence in us.

Mr. Vaishnav Puri, our Founder, is considered to be a legend and icon in the field of Shipping in India. His two-decade long association with NOL/APL in the capacity of Executive Chairman and majority stakeholder in the joint venture for their Indian network, itself, is ample testimony to that stature. His visionary leadership played a pivotal role in elevating the Indian Liner Maritime Industry globally. Mr. Puri received prestigious awards and recognition from various bodies, including the Government of India and Singapore. The Government of Singapore also acknowledged his leadership by appointing him as Honorary Trade Representative of Singapore in Mumbai, a position he held for an unprecedented period of 20 years. During his tenure, he was also a member of the prestigious India Advisory Council. Notably, he was instrumental in reshaping JNPT in 1991 and was also instrumental in commencing the very first direct liner service from India to USA. Mr. Puri held another rare feat. He was conferred with the "Lifetime Achievement Award" on five occasions by the shipping fraternity/leading maritime publications for his enormous contributions to the industry.
