Allcargo Logistics Ltd, a leading integrated logistics provider, has received an award for ‘Best Risk Management Practice’ in the category of Supply Chain (Logistics) at the 3rd India Risk Management Awards 2017 which was held at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.

Clearly, the government had saved the best for the last, with a flurry of policy decisions at the year end. Infrastructure is clearly in for better times in 2016. The year 2015 was generally a positive one for the economy, although bumpy.

The year 2016 seems promising for the ailing infrastructure sector, but it needs to be driven by proactive action.

While acknowledging the bottlenecks, Shashi Kiran Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Allcargo Logistics, expects that positive governance will bring a new wave in the Indian logistics industry.

The ports sector has undergone considerable change since the nineties, but reforms and development have taken a backseat. Janaki Krishnamoorthi examines various approaches to boost this crucial sector.

There is a perennial need for regulatory and institutional changes to keep in step with the social and infrastructural development. It often seems that the law is playing catch up with situations that evolve and many a times it is possible to trace in new or amended legislation the exact gap or mischief it is trying to plug.

Allcargo Logistics Founder and Executive Chairman Shashi Kiran Shetty has been felicitated by Chemtech Foundation in its annual ´Leadership and Excellence Awards 2014´ held in Mumbai. He has been conferred with the prestigious ´Business Leader of the Year´ award in the Logistics category. Shetty has been honoured with this award for his visionary leadership in redefining India´s logistics landscape and making Allcargo a truly multinational organisation.

Shashi Kiran Shetty says technology has come in handy in the absence of a workable policy framework. Logistics links shipping, finance, commerce and trade, transportation, aviation and railways
