About Sumit Wasan

Growth in logistics isn’t built on movement—it’s built on momentum.For over two decades, I’ve been driving that momentum by scaling multimillion-dollar freight and logistics businesses across India, IMEA, and APAC—from launching greenfield divisions to leading enterprise-wide turnarounds for industry majors like Hellmann Worldwide, DP World, and DSV.As a P&L leader, I’ve delivered consistent double-digit growth by blending commercial acumen, operational precision, and digital transformation. My focus: create freight ecosystems that move with speed, reliability, and measurable profitability.At Hellmann Worldwide, I led a national turnaround—doubling the sales organization, expanding trade lanes across Europe and the U.S, and launching new consolidation programs that delivered record growth in air and ocean volumes.At DP World, I was entrusted to build the freight forwarding business from scratch—setting up a pan-India network, forging global alliances, and delivering scale-up from 150 to TEUs per month within a year.Earlier at DSV, I transformed the North India business into the company’s top-performing region, driving $75M in annual turnover and pioneering new freight lanes that redefined speed-to-market.What sets me apart is a builder’s mindset—I don’t just optimize what exists; I create what should. Whether it’s a trade lane, a digital freight product, or a sales engine, I build it to scale and sustain.I believe the future of freight belongs to leaders who can connect digital intelligence with human trust—and I’m passionate about shaping that future, one market at a time.
