More over connectivity & speed are the big issues & can be addressed by adapting to technology & making conducive policies for which they are in talks with the Indian Government & will soon see a good change”.
Raj Dias Symposium Chairperson & President, Global DCM Inc, believes that “More prominently a big paradigm shift is required, where education & technology will play a key role in making a big change in coming times in which India will have to follow it seriously or else it will be left behind as now the time has arrived to go to the next level as 3PL & 4PL(Third & fourth party logistics) have already been activated. India will be definitely heading towards the paradigm shift for sure as I see good scope & a bright future ahead.”
