In a move signaling confidence, continuity, and strategic foresight, Zeal Global Services Ltd has officially reappointed Mr. Vishal Sharma as Managing Director, extending his tenure through February 2026. The decision, ratified during the company’s Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held in late 2024, reflects the board’s endorsement of Sharma’s leadership during a period of rapid growth and transformation in India’s air cargo and logistics sector.
The reappointment comes with a revised compensation package, increasing Sharma’s annual salary from ₹30 lakh to ₹48 lakh, effective November 1, 2024. This adjustment underscores the company’s recognition of his pivotal role in steering Zeal Global through a competitive and evolving market landscape.
A Leader at the Helm of Expansion
Vishal Sharma, who has served as Managing Director since March 2023, has been instrumental in expanding Zeal Global’s footprint across India and strengthening its partnerships with global carriers. Under his leadership, the company secured a landmark agreement with Cathay Cargo in April 2025, becoming its General Sales Agent (GSA) for India. This partnership has enabled Cathay Cargo to penetrate Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, including Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Coimbatore, and Varanasi, leveraging Zeal Global’s deep market expertise and operational infrastructure.
Sharma’s strategic vision has focused on enhancing cargo connectivity, streamlining logistics operations, and integrating digital solutions to improve efficiency. His reappointment signals a continued commitment to these priorities, especially as India’s logistics sector braces for increased demand driven by e-commerce, manufacturing, and global trade shifts.
Zeal Global’s Rising Profile
Founded in 2014, Zeal Global Services Ltd has evolved from a niche logistics provider into a key player in India’s air cargo ecosystem. The company specializes in cargo sales, marketing, operational support, and administrative services for international airlines. With a strong presence in emerging logistics hubs and a reputation for reliability, Zeal Global is increasingly seen as a bridge between global carriers and India’s dynamic freight market.
The company’s recent initiatives include expanding digital booking platforms, enhancing last-mile delivery capabilities, and investing in training programs for logistics professionals. Sharma’s leadership has been central to these efforts, positioning Zeal Global as a forward-thinking, tech-enabled logistics partner.
Governance and Strategic Direction
The reappointment was formalized in accordance with Sections 196, 197, and 198 of the Companies Act, 2013, and approved by shareholders during the EGM held on December 16, 2024. The resolution also included provisions for performance-based pay, aligning Sharma’s incentives with the company’s long-term goals.
The board, chaired by Mr. Nipun Anand, expressed confidence in Sharma’s ability to navigate the complexities of the logistics sector while maintaining operational excellence. Other key members of the leadership team include Ms. Urmil Anand (Executive Director), Mr. Rajesh Hadda and Mr. Ravi Sharma (Independent Directors), and Ms. Monal Gupta (Company Secretary and Compliance Officer).
Industry Outlook and Challenges Ahead
India’s logistics industry is undergoing a transformation, driven by infrastructure upgrades, policy reforms, and digital innovation. The government’s push for multimodal connectivity and the rise of integrated logistics parks are creating new opportunities for companies like Zeal Global.
However, challenges remain. Rising fuel costs, regulatory complexities, and global supply chain disruptions require agile leadership and strategic foresight. Sharma’s reappointment is seen as a stabilizing force, ensuring that Zeal Global remains responsive and resilient in the face of these headwinds.
What This Means for Stakeholders
For investors, Sharma’s continued leadership offers assurance of consistent strategic direction. For partners and clients, it signals reliability and a commitment to service excellence. And for employees, it reinforces a culture of growth, innovation, and accountability.
As Zeal Global Services Ltd enters its next phase, Vishal Sharma’s reappointment is more than a personnel decision—it’s a reaffirmation of the company’s mission to deliver world-class logistics solutions with integrity and innovation.
