Gati ropes in top executives, industry veterans to bolster leadership

January 21, 2021: The distribution, first and last-mile logistics company, Gati is bolstering its senior leadership by roping in top executives by appointing Manish Jain as the national sales head – SME; Charles Devlin D’Costa as the national operations head; and Vishal Singh Thakur as head – business development and customer service for West Zone.

“Having recently transitioned into an Allcargo Company post its strategic acquisition by Allcargo Logistics Gati has set forth on an intense transformation being led by Rohan Mittal, CFO and transformation officer for Gati. The sales and business heads, along with senior leaders from Allcargo and Gati as well as an external consultant have committed themselves to this very important project,” says the release.

Bala Aghoramurthy, deputy managing director, Gati-KWE, said, “The appointments will enhance efficiencies across business functions and operations along with exploring unconventional channels for revenue growth and customer acquisition.”

Adarsh Hegde, managing director, Gati-KWE and joint managing director, Allcargo Logistics, said, “An engaged and skilled workforce is vital for expanding business, enhancing brand equity, and ensuring customer satisfaction and delight, which are some of our key focus areas. As we invest in augmenting our human capital competencies with special focus on digital transformation, we reaffirm our commitment to building a future-ready organization that has the capabilities to traverse a high-octane growth trajectory and set benchmarks of excellence in service delivery standards.”

The move to strengthen its top brass by introducing seasoned, experienced industry leadership seems to be a promising one in light of Gati’s near-zero attrition of top talent, seamless cultural amalgamation with Allcargo and renewed Board and management, backed by global business ambitions and perspectives. Ensuring close collaboration between the newly infused talent and senior resources from Allcargo, many of who have significant international experience are what Gati is looking at to achieve growth and progress in the new normal.
