Amit Khareta is a seasoned Chief Engineer with over a decade of sailing experience. Leveraging his technical expertise and leadership at sea, he transitioned into entrepreneurship, founding 9CC, a leading maritime consultancy, and Shiplo, a digital solution for the shipping industry.
Currently, Amit serves as the South Asia Head of Barrow & Trent, where he focuses on crew management, technical management, vessel inspections, and audits, driving operational excellence for shipowners and operators in the region.
I believe great results come from collaboration, leading teams at sea and in business has taught me the value of working together.
From my sailing days to building startups, I’ve always pushed myself to learn, adapt, and grow every step of the way.
I enjoy connecting with people, building relationships, and creating positive environments wherever I go.
