As Cargo Insights completes three years, we’re not just marking time; we’re honouring a journey shared with an industry in motion. Over the years, our pages have carried the voices of over a hundred changemakers, disruptors, and thinkers who’ve shaped India’s logistics and supply chain story.
This special feature brings together heartfelt messages and sharp insights from some of them, celebrating how far we’ve come, where we stand today, and the paths still to be paved. It’s a moment to reflect on how platforms like ours can continue to spotlight the stories that matter, uncover untold challenges, and amplify the ideas driving India’s logistics future.
Ayesha Katgara, Head of Corporate Strategy & Marketing, Jeena & Company
“We extend our best wishes to Cargo Insights on completing three impactful years in the world of logistics media. We truly value the platform for its consistent focus on knowledge sharing and for highlighting industry insights and expert voices from logistics leaders. The content shared has been informative and has helped build a positive outlook for our industry. I particularly appreciate the in-depth stories your platform offers to readers, it has truly become a valuable source of knowledge for us. Wishing you and your team continued success!
In terms of where the industry needs greater attention, several critical areas come to mind, including technology and innovation, government schemes and policies, and ESG adoption. However, one of the most pressing needs is the integration of sustainability into supply chains. Green logistics has emerged as a globally significant topic, but implementing environmentally friendly practices remains a challenge due to inadequate infrastructure and the high cost of digital adoption, especially in rural areas.”
Dr. Pramod Sant, Industry Expert
“Cargo Insights has become a credible voice in India’s logistics ecosystem in just three years. You’ve fostered informed conversations, highlighted ground realities, and given a platform to diverse industry stakeholders. Your insights have helped to bridge the gap between on-ground logistics challenges and policy-level thinking. Consistent focus on industry developments and expert opinions has made you a valuable partner in India’s logistics transformation journey. Keep the momentum going!
When it comes to the areas that need more visibility, India’s logistics story is incomplete without focusing on Tier 2/3 cities, MSMEs, multimodal integration, and the evolving workforce. Challenges in coastal shipping, digital compliance, skill development, and trade facilitation at the ground level deserve greater attention. Platforms like Cargo Insights can spotlight real voices from stakeholders while showcasing value-driven innovations and operational resilience by smaller players. Your role in shaping an inclusive, forward-looking, and solution-oriented narrative is more crucial than ever.”
Fardeen Malbarwala, Director of Galaxy Freight
“First of all, congratulations on completing three successful years of asking the right questions and initiating the much-needed conversations. The media has worked wonderfully to highlight India’s growth story, how the nation tapped into the potential of its own market through re/near-shoring, supported by the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign. Technological advancements are another area that is being covered abundantly, through multiple perspectives of multiple stakeholders. The burning topic, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in logistics, whether through AI, machine learning, blockchain for demand forecasts and supply planning, or the growing emphasis on multimodalism, is being explored expansively.
Looking ahead, it would be interesting to read about what different stakeholders feel about the pressure of compliance, especially around sustainability goals. Balancing profit with environmental responsibility often calls for trade-offs until the ecosystem is ready for change. We’d also love to see more coverage of global strategies and tools that are making supply chains more flexible, agile, and proactive.”
Keku Bomi Gazder, MD & CEO, Aviapro Logistic Services
“Congratulations to Cargo Insights on three remarkable years of shaping the future of logistics media. Your journey reflects a steadfast commitment to innovation, knowledge-sharing, and industry empowerment. By spotlighting key trends, fostering meaningful dialogue, and amplifying diverse voices, you’ve become an essential resource for logistics professionals worldwide. Your contributions have not only informed but also inspired progress across the supply chain landscape. Here’s to continued impact, growth, and leadership in driving the logistics industry forward. The best is yet to come!
Among the stories that deserve deeper attention, the rise of sustainable and circular supply chains stands out. While often overshadowed by tech innovations, greener logistics is becoming vital in the face of global climate concerns. Platforms like Cargo Insights can take the lead by showcasing real-world case studies, spotlighting sustainability pioneers, and unpacking regulatory changes, helping the industry embrace logistics as a driver of both environmental and economic resilience.”
Parvinder Singh, Managing Director, Hans Infomatic
“First of all, congratulations to Cargo Insights on completing three impactful years! In a short span, you have established yourselves as a credible voice, bridging gaps between stakeholders through meaningful conversations, expert analysis, and timely updates. Your consistent focus on industry trends, government initiatives, and leadership insights has helped the community stay informed and inspired. Hans Infomatic values your role in fostering knowledge-sharing through your updates and coverage of innovation across the logistics ecosystem.
One emerging trend that deserves greater media focus is the integration of sustainability with digitalisation. As the logistics sector grows, the pressure to cut emissions while improving efficiency is increasing. Yet, the role of tech, from cloud ERPs to AI-driven route planning, remains underexplored. Cargo Insights can spotlight such success stories, especially across the air cargo value chain, and promote dialogue among stakeholders. Your platform can truly accelerate awareness and adoption of sustainable digital practices.”
Prakash R, Senior Manager Business Analysis, Flyjac Logistics
“Over the past three years, Cargo Insights has played a pivotal role in spotlighting the pulse of the logistics and supply chain industry. At Flyjac Logistics, we applaud your commitment to delivering thoughtful analysis, amplifying industry voices, and fostering a community of informed professionals. Your platform has bridged the gap between innovation and implementation, dialogue and action. Congratulations on reaching this important milestone!
One area that deserves deeper media focus is the intersection of sustainability and digital transformation in logistics. While both topics are widely discussed, their combined impact, particularly in emerging markets, remains under-represented. From green warehousing to smart cold chain solutions, many untold stories of innovation and resilience are driving a more sustainable future. Platforms like Cargo Insights can lead the way by highlighting real-world execution, celebrating unsung change-makers, and encouraging cross-sector dialogue. This will not only inform the industry but also inspire action across the value chain.”
Rajesh Menon, Maritime Expert
“The logistics sector has seen remarkable transformation since the launch of the National Logistics Policy in 2022. With its emphasis on digital systems, standardisation, HR development, EXIM logistics, and logistics parks, the policy has laid the foundation for a more integrated ecosystem.
Cargo Insights has been a key chronicler of this journey. Through consistent coverage and sectoral programs across print, visual, and social media, the platform has highlighted India’s response to these policy initiatives. Events curated by Cargo Insights, featuring voices from industry leaders, have captured the growing momentum and optimism within the sector.
By offering a space for dialogue and policy engagement, Cargo Insights has fostered awareness, collaboration, and progress. As we look ahead, I hope to see deeper coverage of emerging areas like logistics start-ups, case studies, international trade, and tariff dynamics. My best wishes to the Cargo Insights team in continuing this vital work.”
Suneet Gupta, Senior Vice President & Head – Business Development, Cargo Community & Enterprise Systems, Kale Logistics Solutions
“Cargo Insights has been an enabler in disseminating the right information across the logistics industry. The critical insights shared over the past three years have helped professionals make informed decisions, and even those new to the sector have found tremendous value. Whenever someone asks where to begin learning about logistics, we point them to Cargo Insights. You’ve built a trusted resource that serves both veterans and newcomers alike.
Looking ahead, while there’s growing conversation around tariffs, a significant development that deserves deeper focus is the rise of digital corridors across regions. In just the past year, several such corridors have been established between countries, setting the stage for new standards and strategic alliances. This is a game-changing shift, and platforms like Cargo Insights can play a crucial role by diving deeper into this trend and exploring how it will shape the future of global logistics.”
Sunil Arora, CEO, One World Network (1WN)
“In an industry driven by time, precision, and constant motion, it’s rare to find a voice that brings depth, clarity, and connection to our collective journey. Cargo Insights has been that voice. As they celebrate three remarkable years, I reflect not just on their achievements but on their spirit.
From the very beginning of One World Network, they’ve stood beside us, not as mere observers, but as genuine partners. Their presence at our first International Leadership Summit in Dubai is just one example of their commitment to capturing not only events but also the deeper essence behind them. Yogita and Jatin embody a rare blend of passion, persistence, and purpose.
In logistics, we connect continents. Cargo Insights connects perspectives. In a world that moves fast, they remind us why we move and who we move for. On behalf of 1WN, I extend our deepest appreciation and heartfelt congratulations.”
Sunil Kohli, Managing Director, Rahat Cargo
“Cargo Insights (CI) has undoubtedly been an informative magazine over the years, offering in-depth coverage of the cargo industry while analysing its evolving landscape. It has consistently proven to be a trusted source of information, closely aligned with the logistics fraternity. By highlighting challenges and milestones alike, CI has played a pivotal role in keeping trade professionals well-informed. Its coverage of emerging technologies like e-commerce, e-vehicles, and route rationalisation has been particularly valuable.
While media often focuses on immediate disruptions, such as airport congestion, processing delays, and manpower shortages, long-term impacts from extreme weather events, resource scarcity, and climate shifts often receive less attention. Platforms like CI can take the lead in highlighting these pressing issues and offering innovative solutions to build resilient and sustainable supply chains. Hosting webinars, interactive workshops, and sessions with supply chain experts could further enhance this impact. CI’s role in shaping such conversations is more vital than ever.”
Manish Malik, Co-Founder & Managing Director, EVO Supply Chain Solutions
“It’s a great coincidence that EVO Supply Chain is also turning three this year, and it’s been a pleasure growing alongside Cargo Insights. Many congratulations on this insightful journey! The media coverage, both in print and on social platforms, has been phenomenal. Your consistent efforts to bring industry knowledge to the forefront are truly appreciated, and it’s always a pleasure connecting with your team.
Looking ahead, I believe the industry needs to adopt a more consultative approach, especially concerning transits. With new geopolitical tensions emerging frequently, it’s important for the logistics sector to come together and develop collective strategies. We must focus on easing supply chain challenges and providing real solutions to customers. When cargo flows smoothly, it benefits us all. Platforms like Cargo Insights can lead this dialogue, bringing the community together to find ways forward in uncertain times. Keep up the great work!”
Sanjiv Edward
President of Air Cargo Forum India (ACFI); Chief Executive Officer – Cargo & Logistics, GMR Group (DIAL)
“Congratulations to Cargo Insights on completing three remarkable years! You’re truly doing justice to your name by delivering valuable insights to the logistics and air cargo industry. Your eye for detail, whether it’s daily reporting, video content, or bulletins, stands out. It’s been a pleasure following your work, which is both timely and impactful. Personally, I find your coverage a real asset to the sector. Keep up the great work; it’s a blessing for the industry.
As for what needs greater media focus, I believe transshipment is a critical area. India must simplify transshipment processes to stay globally competitive. If cargo from the Far East is routed to Europe, Indian hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, or Hyderabad must be as seamless as global counterparts like Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Streamlining this will significantly enhance India’s global cargo share and help us reach the 10 million mark.”
Shailender Anand, CEO, Pronk India; A Company of Tri-Wall Japan
“The memories of Cargo Insights’ inauguration at Aerocity are still vivid, and witnessing your journey over the past three years has been truly inspiring. You’ve brought fresh energy into logistics media, from spotlighting unsung heroes and industry legends to highlighting upcoming exhibitions and events. As someone from the packaging side of the supply chain, I find your content incredibly relevant and inclusive, especially beyond just forwarding. Kudos to the entire Cargo Insights team for pushing boundaries and thriving despite intense competition.
One area that needs more media attention is the cargo movement from India’s hinterland. While 70% of air freight moves through Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, a significant volume originates from smaller cities like Kanpur, Coimbatore, and Jaipur. These regions face unique ground-level challenges that are often overlooked. Platforms like Cargo Insights can play a vital role in amplifying these stories and helping bridge the visibility gap in India’s air freight ecosystem.”
Dileepa BM, CEO, Shreeji Translogistics
“Cargo Insights is a wonderful magazine, and our association goes beyond professional ties; we’ve shared over a decade of camaraderie. The team has consistently done commendable work in serving the cargo and logistics sector with meaningful content and commitment. I truly value our long-standing bond and the magazine’s contribution to the industry.
As India eyes becoming a transshipment hub and achieving the 2030 goal of handling 10 million metric tonnes of cargo, we must also address the persistent challenges within the sector. Media platforms like Cargo Insights can play a pivotal role, not just by highlighting these issues, but by taking them forward to ministries and authorities to drive real change. Forums like conclaves can be the right places to identify and act on them.
I wholeheartedly support Cargo Insights. It’s a fantastic magazine, and I wish you continued success, growth, and many more milestones ahead.”
Vinet K Chadha, Founder & Managing Director, Combined Logistics Solutions
“First of all, congratulations to Cargo Insights on completing three impactful years. While three years is just the beginning, the journey so far has been impressive. With your deep knowledge and powerful messaging, I believe Cargo Insights should aim to become a leading voice in the Indian logistics narrative. India’s logistics story is rich and evolving, and your platform is well-positioned to highlight that in a focused manner.
Speaking of trends, the biggest challenge has always been high logistics costs. But with initiatives like the National Logistics Policy and Gati Shakti, we’ve already brought it down from 13% to single digits. That’s a major achievement. I feel Cargo Insights should now put more spotlight on untapped areas like inland waterways. India has over 100 ports with waterway connectivity, yet this segment doesn’t get enough attention. Focusing on such emerging domains can add immense value to the industry narrative.”
Vipin Vohra, Chairman, Continental Carriers
“I’ve seen Cargo Insights grow from day one, and I must say, the progress has been truly impressive. The way you’ve captured important developments, especially in the air cargo sector, is commendable. Today, you’ve positioned yourselves as a key voice in the logistics and airfreight industry, not just through your magazine but also as a strong media and advertising platform. I wish the team continued success in this journey.
Going forward, I feel Cargo Insights can play an even bigger role by focusing more on broader industry issues. Rather than just interviews, the magazine should explore themes like global tariffs, say, what’s unfolding in the US, and gather insights from key stakeholders, ministries, and large agents. There’s also a need for deeper stories on multimodal logistics and digitalisation, topics we often discuss at ACFI. Covering such areas will not only inform but also engage the logistics community more meaningfully.”
Yashpal Sharma, Managing Director, Skyways Group
“You’ve done phenomenal work over the last three years. As with any new venture, the early years are always the most crucial, full of learning, growth, and foundational experiences. I’m sure these three years have taught you valuable lessons. No matter how well one plans, realities on the ground often shift, and adapting to that is what shapes a strong platform. I must say, the quality of your editorials has stood out, and the events you’ve hosted reflect a clear understanding of the industry pulse. You’ve already created a meaningful space in the logistics media landscape, and I truly believe this is just the beginning. The path ahead is promising, and with your energy and vision, Cargo Insights will go on to make an even bigger mark in the logistics sector. Keep doing what you’re doing and keep telling the stories that matter to all of us in the industry.”
