In 1993, when Shashi Kiran Shetty began his journey with a single forklift and a clear dream, no one imagined that the small logistics company he founded would one day operate across continents. What kept him moving was quiet determination, a willingness to learn every day, and the belief that an Indian company could build a global presence. "My father's journey has always been defined by clarity of purpose and an extraordinary belief that an Indian company could build a global footprint in logistics," said Vaishnav Shetty (Executive Director, ECU Worldwide and Chief Digital Officer (CDO), Allcargo Group), who grew up watching this story unfold. He remembers seeing his father travel from port to port, forming relationships, finding opportunities, and taking bold decisions when the moment felt right. "His philosophy was simple: stay grounded, stay hungry,and keep building for the long term."
