In this edition, we stopped by Masjid Bandar in Mumbai, a prominent area recognized as the hub of the one of the largest shipping, logistics and maritime companies of India.

Paras Jain, PRPL Director, said: “Started as a humble company by the name of Star Transport Company and then renamed as PRPL in 1987, we have grown in stature and reputation by keeping up with technology trends, transportation advances, and customer needs.”
