Manish Kumar

I lead shipping, logistics, and maritime operations with 25+ years of leadership experience spanning maritime operations, logistics coordination, procurement, transportation planning, inventory control, regulatory compliance, and team leadership. I’m focused on turning complex, highly regulated situations into clear, operationally sound outcomes.

In my current role as Deputy General Manager – Coordination & Development at Goa Shipyard Limited, I coordinate cross-functional execution across shipbuilding support, procurement, logistics, administration, and standardized reporting. I also drive movement of critical materials and operational resources while supporting inventory planning, supplier coordination, contract administration, compliance, and governance.

Previously, as a Senior Maritime Operations & Logistics Leader with the Indian Coast Guard, I directed logistics and maritime operations for fleets, personnel, equipment, and shore establishments—managing multidisciplinary teams supporting over 25,000 personnel. I implemented SOPs, strengthened compliance, improved operational readiness, optimized resource utilization, and managed stakeholder relationships with ministries, shipyards, vendors, port authorities, and regulators.
