The Memoir of Maritime Legend Vaishnav Puri has been launched recently to make the readers travel through the personal & professional journey of a shipping doyen who molded India’s maritime scene while cementing the country’s international trade relations.
Puri is known globally for his achievements and contributions towards India’s maritime trade. He played a key role in reshaping the JNPT port, which was written off by the trade in 1991 due to non-acceptance by the importers & exporters. He was also instrumental in launching the first direct & the then fastest liner service from India to the USA. At one stage during the early 2000s, he was responsible for handling the largest container volumes in the country (over 20 percent of the total containerized traffic) under his able leadership in India for some of the largest liner principals in the world.
Puri also represented the government of Singapore in Mumbai for about 2 decades as their honorary trade representative and helped the trade grow phenomenally between both India and Singapore.
The biography is more than an acknowledgment of Vaishnav Puri’s achievements, underscoring as evidence his vision and immense contribution to this industry. His story showcases the rise of India’s shipping industry along with the power of integrity, determination, hard work, family, and purpose in building a sustained legacy.
