Mr MAHIMANANDA MISHRA’S PROFILE: 

The beacon of Eastern India’s business circle, Mr. Mahimananda Mishra, was born on Akshay Tritiya Day (7th May 1953), which is considered an auspicious day in India, in the historic city of Cuttack, Odisha. Mr Mishra graduated in political science and got his Masters’s Degree in Law from the prestigious M S Law College, Cuttack.

While he started his business in the logistics sector by providing manpower to the then-existing stevedores, he could foresee the potential in stevedoring.

Being the pioneer in this business, the set of work processes in stevedoring initiated by Mr. Mahimananda Mishra during the 1970s is still in practice, withstanding the changing environment of business and resulting in a win-win situation for all stakeholders.

During his journey of more than five decades and being a natural leader having sharp business acumen, he built a towering stevedoring enterprise and conglomerate of diverse business domains, namely Mining, Hospitality, Automobile, Energy, Trading, Owning & Operating Ports & Terminals and so on.
