With a robust background in Liner Agency and NVOCC Operations, as well as Freight Forwarding activities, Raja has successfully spearheaded initiatives that enhance the company’s market position and profitability. His current focus is on promoting and expanding the NON-US business vertical for freight forwarding, a strategic move that has opened new avenues for growth and revenue generation.

To support this new business vertical, Raja has meticulously assembled a high-performing team, fostering a collaborative environment that emphasizes best practices and innovative solutions.
