The maritime industry operates under intricate procedures due to stringent regulations, safety protocols, and global trade requirements. Ensuring safety and managing compliance involve navigating extreme engineering challenges, complex documentation, inspections, and operational guidelines. Additionally, maritime businesses must handle logistical challenges, including cargo management, vessel maintenance, and crew coordination, all of which require meticulous planning. These complex challenges call for frequent expert guidance.

To fill in these gaps in the industry, Prem Shankar established THENAVALARCH, a first-of-its-kind one-stop-shop naval engineering and knowledge services platform.
