The Montreal Port Authority has appointed Prakash R. Tulsiani as Senior Commercial Advisor and its representative in India, as the port seeks to expand trade opportunities with the Indian market.
Based in India, Tulsiani will focus on developing new business opportunities, strengthening relationships with shipping and logistics stakeholders, and raising the profile of the Port of Montreal among Indian customers and trade partners.
India is already an important trading partner for the port. Major Indian imports through Montreal include food products, ceramics and plastics, while key exports to India include forest products and metals. The new appointment is expected to help identify additional opportunities for shipping lines, freight forwarders, importers and exporters.
Tulsiani brings more than 45 years of experience across maritime transport, logistics, infrastructure, port and airport operations, international supply chains and Asian markets. His appointment expands the Montreal Port Authority’s network of commercial representatives across Europe, the United States and Asia.
The move comes as Canada and India seek to deepen bilateral trade, with both countries targeting stronger commercial ties and ongoing negotiations toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.
