Mr. Shankar: Chennai, one of the prominent cities in India, is also one of the highly graded industrial hubs in India. It is popularly known as the” Detroit of South India” and considered as one of the world’s largest auto manufacturing cities. With the likes of BMW, Renault-Nissan, Hyundai, Ashok Leyland setting up huge manufacturing facilities in Chennai, the city also boasts a vast industrial belt for various other manufacturing industries, including tires, glass, Renewable and wind energy, granites and food items.

Mr. Shankar: I have been associated with R+C Seetransport (Germany) right from their inception and have been working hand in hand with them all these years.

I am very excited to be a part of R+C Seetransport India and I am sure we will have tremendous growth in the months to come. With the success of India offices, R+C Seetransport will soon expand to other countries in the world. We have truly arrived.
