Accept your genius and say what you think and do what you want. For, essence of your success lies in your action and in your words. And for Craig Grossgart, Country Manager, DHL India, it's his action, which takes precedence his words. And that's precisely what sets him apart from the other corporate honchos. With vision and incredible focus, he has made competition a byproduct of his achievements. Grossgart knows that his task in India is cut out. He has to keep the reputation and market share of the global logistics major intact. After all, DHL, which came to India in 1979, continues to be No. 1 even after 25 years.

Before Grossgart joined DHL Express, he was CEO, Asian Container Terminals in Hong Kong. During his 2 years with the company, he designed and executed a unique business strategy that brought the company out of the red, subsequently earning substantial profits. Prior to that, Grossgart was with APL in Philippines. APL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines. As Managing Director of the company's Phillippine and Taiwan operations, he oversaw APL's largest and most integral port in Taiwan for 3 years. For him, India is a land of tremendous opportunities and is also a major engine for growth of DHL's business in Asia Pacific and he is enjoying the challenge of testing just how much higher he can take DHL's success.

An American, Craig Grossgart is an alumnus of the University of California and has significant experience in the Asia Pacific Region and with his hand on India's pulse, he is giving to Indian market exactly what it needs. Grossgart's vision is to make DHL rise above just being a transporter of documents. Afterall, documents account for just 20 per cent of DHL's total express business. He wants DHL to be globally recognised as the leading express and logistics provider. Knowing the determination of this dynamic man, it would not be too long before that too shall be achieved.
