DB Schenker, the global logistics service provider 100% owned by Deutsche Bahn Group, has appointed Kinjal Pande as the new CEO for India and the Indian subcontinent, effective immediately, said a statement issued today.

Pande will succeed interim CEO Vivek Chopra, who stepped in for Vishal Sharma since his move to a new role in China. She brings a wide experience from other leading global forwarders in the logistics industry.

“India is one of the key growth markets in the region and I am confident that Kinjal, who comes with a wealth of experience spanning various functions in the logistics industry, will be a great addition to the team," said Dr. Niklas Wilmking, Asia-Pacific CEO.


“DB Schenker is one of the leading organisations in the logistics industry in India and globally, and I am honoured to be part of this company and aim to strengthen our position in the market further," said Pande.

The new appointment is part of a recent leadership reorganisation to help the company strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific region.

DB Schenker has around 74,200 employees at more than 2,100 locations in over 130 countries. The company operates land, air, and ocean transportation services, and also offers solutions for logistics and global supply chain management from a single source.
