January 27, 2021 All

Allcargo Logistics, leading end-to-end logistics services provider has appointed Suresh Kumar as its Chief Executive Officer – India. With over 28 years of industry experience and a proven track record in building and expanding businesses as also driving change management initiatives, his appointment is well-timed with the company’s efforts towards sustainable growth and digital transformation.
Mr Kumar will head Allcargo’s CFS, P&E, and Contract Logistics divisions as well as focus on overall organizational compliance and adherence to internationally accepted ESG (Environment, Safety, and Governance) standards.
He will report at a strategic level to Mr. Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman, Allcargo Logistics, ECU Worldwide and Gati, and to Mr. Adarsh Hegde, Joint Managing Director, Allcargo Logistics, on all operational matters.
“With the corporate world taking giant steps towards digital innovation and transformation, Suresh’s seasoned leadership and perspective will accelerate the paradigm shifts needed to scale and future-proof the business. His stellar capabilities of leading organisations at diverse stages from launch to growth to transformation, backed by the multicultural experience of working across various states and cities of the country will surely prove to be a great asset as we look ahead to taking Allcargo’s business in India to the next level.”
~Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman, Allcargo Logistics, ECU Worldwide and Gati
Prior to joining Allcargo Logistics, Suresh was associated with Vodafone Idea as Operations Director and has served at various leadership positions across Sales & Marketing, State and Regional business operations, and National verticals during his tenure there. He is a B. Tech (Mechanical Engineering) graduate and a postgraduate in Business Administration from IIM Bangalore.
Post the conclusion of their collaboration earlier this year and Gati’s transition into an Allcargo company, the two organizations have embarked on transformation projects aimed at growing the business, digitally-enabling operations, and enhancing customer experiences across the globe.
Building and nurturing a sustainable talent pipeline by roping in expertise from within and outside the industry is likely to make a significant contribution to success while achieving these objectives.
