I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Fleet Manager at EQUATOR LOGISTICS PRIVATE LIMITED!

“Your Title Doesn’t Matter” In Mongolia, I was a Service Manager. In Qatar, a System Technician. In Tanzania, a Fleet Manager. Different roles. Different countries. Different teams. But I’ve learned one truth: 👉 People follow clarity, not titles. If your team understands why, they’ll always give you their best. The Most Underrated Skill in Fleet Management No, it’s not telematics. Not BI. Not SAP. Not workshop planning. It’s communication. One misunderstood instruction can cost: ✔ thousands in fuel ✔ days in downtime ✔ safety incidents ✔ customer dissatisfaction Communication saves more money than any tool. And the best fleet managers talk to their people more than their spreadsheets.

“From Apprentice to Technical head — My Biggest Lesson” I started as an apprentice technician in India. Today I manage huge fleets across Africa. What changed? Not luck. Not shortcuts. Consistency. The boring, daily, repetitive commitment to improve by 1%. Small improvements × time = transformation. The Hardest Conversation of My Career I once had to tell a driver that his driving behavior was putting lives at risk. He expected punishment. Instead, I gave him training. Months later… His telematics score became one of the BEST in the fleet. That’s when I learned: 👉 People don’t need discipline first. They need guidance first. Leadership = correction with compassion.

“The Workshop We Built From Zero” We built a workshop from nothing. No equipment. No structure. No system. Just a vision. Today, it runs: ✔ preventive maintenance ✔ diagnostics ✔ parts management ✔ 99% critical spares availability We didn’t build a workshop. We built uptime. Building a Workshop From Zero People see the workshop we built and say: “Wow, this is impressive.” They don’t see: The nights spent planning The negotiations The vendor headaches The parts shortages The pressure to control cost But we did it. 👉 In-house workshop 👉 99% part availability 👉 Faster uptime 👉 Lower costs Success looks easy only after it’s done.
