With a three-decade legacy, Jassper Shipping boasts Asia's largest agency network, highlighting its significant role in global shipping.
The Outreach Programme aimed to foster a supportive environment for business growth and innovation in Telangana, drew 200 participants from diverse sectors, including women entrepreneurs, MSMEs, chamber of commerce, industry associations, export promotion councils (EPCs), and start-ups.
