‘Adopt tech & AI for long-term value creation in air cargo’

Vineet Malhotra, Co-Founder & Director, Kale Logistics Solutions said “2025 has been a year of expansion and entry into new markets for us. Our biggest learning has been the transformative power of AI. We moved quickly to establish our dedicated AI Centre in Pune, India, and have since embedded practical AI use cases across all our products. This has not only strengthened our solutions but also accelerated innovation for our customers and the wider logistics ecosystem. Geopolitical events, regulatory changes, and evolving trade patterns did create uncertainties for the industry. However, by shifting our perspective, we recognised significant opportunities within these disruptions—whether it was the Suez Canal incident, tariff changes, conflicts, climate-driven mandates, or rising cyber risks. At Kale, we chose to approach these challenges with a problem-solver mindset. We strengthened and evolved our cargo community systems and enterprise platforms to help stakeholders navigate these complexities with greater resilience. By aligning technology with the industry’s shared priorities, we were able to turn external pressures into catalysts for innovation and long-term value creation.”
