Having Mr. Shetty at the helm of affairs has helped logistics enterprises to embrace technology rapidly in all their business processes and expand into different service verticals within the shipping and logistics domain.
Back when Mr. Shetty was a young dreamer, his source of motivation was his visits to JNPT, where his father Mr. K D Shetty handled the operations. The fascination for Captain’s uniform and their work ethic, motivated him to pursue a career in Merchant Navy and thus began his journey in the ports.
