Ruchin C. Dayal, Founder & CEO, eDOT Solutions
Going back almost two decades, India started taking baby steps in the iron ore trade only in the early 2000s. Needless to say, it has taken a lot of sweat and foresight of courageous entrepreneurs for the country to become a significant producer of iron ore in the world. The early 2000s was also the time Capt. Ruchin C Dayal- Founder & CEO of eDOT Solutions, a master mariner, retired after 16 years of service. He foresaw the exponential growth of iron ore trade in India, resulting in overwhelmed barge traffic in Goa. Making a difference is not something that you can stop after 16 years. Capt. Ruchin pioneered the first digital barge tracking solution for river traffic in Goa, even before the commercial GPS era and established eDOT Solutions- Marine in 2004. Today, eDOT is a leading multi-national company with a world-class R&D division. CEO Insights engages in an exclusive interview with Capt. Ruchin, an industry thought leader, who walks us through his journey and the latest endeavors of eDOT across the globe. Below is an excerpt from the interview.
