"Sengupta brings an impressive background and more than 30 years of experience in shipping and related fields, making him an ideal candidate to lead Volta forward," according to an official release.

Sengupta will replace Manikandan Kongattil who left the company after four years of service. "During his tenure, Kongattil led the company through a period of significant growth and success."

"I am honoured to lead the team at Volta and I am excited about the opportunities ahead," said Sengupta. "I look forward to working with our talented and customer-focused team to continue driving the company's expansion and success."
