“We are strategically investing in our capabilities to expand our offering to our customers, from opening smart sortation facilities, to innovating in the last mile to foster growth and reduce our carbon output,” he said.

“Our global network is uniquely positioned to support the UK to India trade lane with our dedicated teams and strategic initiatives.”

Akaltan holds an MBA from Erasmus University, Rotterdam School of Management, and the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a Management Engineering Degree from Istanbul Technical University.

UPS in India is rapidly expanding to boost local businesses’ international and domestic growth. Its trade capacity doubled with the opening of a second airport gateway in Bengaluru, and a USD 20 million investment in a smart technology centre in Chennai to enable continued innovative advancement, the company said.

“I am honoured to lead UPS in a crucial European market during such an important time for our business. We are strategically investing in our capabilities to expand our offering to our customers, from opening smart sortation facilities to innovating in the last mile to foster growth and reduce our carbon output,” Akaltan said.
