March 2018

MOVING FORWARD DIGITALLY

This is the 3rd edition of our digital Jeena News. Thank you for so many well received comments on the

first and second editions.

The Indian Economy is expected to grow at 7% in FY 2018-19 as per the forecast by The World Bank.

For Jeena 2017-18 was a challenging year. We have taken several ‘New’ initiatives like implementation of

Digital Marketing, revising our Service Excellence parameters, adding simplified export schedules etc. for

our customers, employees and other stakeholders.

We have become the first Indian Freight Forwarding company to launch its own Mobile App on IOS and

Android which is appreciated by our EXIM Customers. J-Track continues to be the robust online tracking

system. One shipper commented “a dream come true due to the friendliness of the Mobile App”.

We are also investing in several digital, IT tools and automation programs to drive our growth while moving

towards Digital JEENA.

Jeena recently entered the domestic market through acquisition of Noble Criticare now re-branded as Jeena

Criticare Limited. This company is 100% dedicated to domestic supply chain of life sciences industry and

handling the mainstream logistics of critical products like Biological Samples, Vaccines, Live Mice, Pharma

and Diagnostics kits Pan India in normal as well temperature controlled conditions. JCL is having Pan India

network with more than 220 pick up locations and delivery within 10 hours to 36 hours at most of the

domestic locations. Adding additional staff of 150 personnel to the existing Jeena. Currently Jeena

employing 1200 personnel and as a full group we have crossed on our roster at plus 2000 personnel.

The implementation of GST which is in good spirit but extremely difficult to implement, has been taken

care of with its ups and down and hope for a smooth functioning in the future. Simplification and

rationalization of rates should be considered at the Finance Ministry level.

Under the guise “ease of doing business” by our Prime Minister of India, customs have digitized lot of

documentation to do away with hard papers under the banner of E-Sanchit which has been implemented.

It has huge challenges from the users end but as Jeena we support digitized initiative of going “Green and

Paperless”.

We wish all the best to our customers, partners and colleagues.

Regards,

Cyrus Katgara

WaterMaker (India) Pvt. Ltd, a sister concern of Jeena, is increasingly providing a solution to the water crisis in India and other parts of the world. Using their state of the art atmospheric water technology, WaterMakers provide safe and clean drinking water from the air, requiring no water source at all.

WaterMakers have been installed at Adani ports, naval hospitals and rural health centres for drinking water, Wheels India is donating one to a school as part of their CSR, the Kolam Municipal Corporation is using one at their HQ , Hero Motors has one installed in their factory and many more companies have found the concept unique, affordable and environmentally friendly.

Internationally, WaterMakers are being exported to many parts of the world, the most recent orders being from Thailand, South Africa and Haiti. Jeena of course, handles the logistics wonderfully well!
