With a three-decade legacy, Jassper Shipping boasts Asia's largest agency network, highlighting its significant role in global shipping.
The Outreach Programme aimed to foster a supportive environment for business growth and innovation in Telangana, drew 200 participants from diverse sectors, including women entrepreneurs, MSMEs, chamber of commerce, industry associations, export promotion councils (EPCs), and start-ups.
The event was also graced by G. Kishan Reddy, Union Minister of Coal and Mines, and D. Sridhar Babu, Industries Minister for the Government of Telangana. During the event, Pushpank Kaushik, CEO of Jassper Shipping, engaged in discussions with G. Kishan Reddy and Piyush Goyal regarding insights into the shipping and logistics industry. Minister Piyush Goyal appreciated the valuable contributions and reaffirmed the government's commitment to collaborating with the industry to meet these goals.
Pushpank Kaushik, CEO of Jassper Shipping called for increased financial support from banks for the shipping industry and emphasized the need for greater attention to this sector.
