Founded in 2014, Zeal Global Services has established a strong presence across key Indian cities through its passenger and cargo GSA operations. The company also operates Pradhan Air Cargo freighters, connecting India and Dubai.
Nipun Anand, Director of Zeal Global, acknowledged South African Airways’ (SAA) strong track record in Asian markets, stating:
“This collaboration is set to benefit both companies, aligning with Zeal’s ambitious growth strategy and SAA’s expanding post-pandemic network.”
Keke Mokwena, Cargo Manager at SAA, praised Zeal’s dynamic and passionate approach, making them an ideal partner in India.
“Over 6,000 tonnes of cargo move from India to South Africa, with Johannesburg claiming the largest share. The Indian outbound market is driven by pharmaceuticals, textiles, and automotive parts.”
Mokwena further highlighted SAA Cargo’s history of successful offline partnerships in Asia, emphasizing the promising opportunities within the Zeal Global collaboration.
“This partnership opens doors to new possibilities, particularly in the India-to-South Africa trade. It’s a win-win collaboration that holds great potential for both companies.”
