We Communicate Your Leadership Thoughts
Raaja Kanwar , Managing Director, Apollo International
In 2020, the corporate realm time-traveled into the future, going years ahead of the original technology upgrade schedules. Before the pandemic, hardly anyone would have imagined that the services from healthcare to education would be delivered in a complete virtual fashion. However, it still doesn't mean that food, healthcare supplies, clothing, raw material, hardware, and so on, can be experienced remotely or downloaded online. Things need to be moved. This is precisely why the supply chains worldwide were stretched, over-stretched, and often broken during the COVID-19 pandemic. But the tech-savvy logistics entities magically survived! The logistics industry today is building its future, enabled by technology. Raaja Kanwar, Managing Director, Apollo LogiSolutions, walks us through the latest happenings in the logistics industry through an exclusive interview with him. A serial entrepreneur, Raaja holds more than two decades of professional leadership experience across diverse industries. Raaja is also the Chairman & Managing Director of Apollo International Limited (established in 1994 as a part of Apollo Group) & the Co-Founder and Director of UFO Moviez India, one of India's largest in-cinema advertising platforms and distribution networks. Below is an excerpt from the interview with him.
