On the 8th of March, a significant number of Indicaa's containers were stranded in the Persian Gulf, caught in a blockade. No movement. No clarity. Just pressure. In this episode of Meet Our People, Francis D'Souza, Assistant Vice President at Indicaa Group, talks about what happened that Sunday, how Indicaa responded, and what genuine supply chain resilience actually looks like when things go wrong. Francis has been with Indicaa since 2007.

He brings that precision to every shipment Indicaa moves.
