Ep 84: Wilhelmsen Group | Why Maritime Innovation Must Start with the End User

In this episode of the Maritime SoftwareHub - The People Podcast, Callum Beaumont speaks with Nakul Malhotra, Vice President of Emerging Opportunities Portfolio at Wilhelmsen Group, about how his experience as a seafarer has shaped his approach to maritime innovation and why domain knowledge is so critical when assessing new technologies for one of shipping's most established names. They explore what Nakul's role leading Wilhelmsen's Emerging Opportunities Portfolio actually involves, and whether seafarers are becoming more comfortable with technology than some of the shore-based decision-makers tasked with buying it. The discussion also looks at how decarbonisation and green technologies are creating new commercial opportunities across shipping, what new career paths are opening up for seafarers and those entering maritime from other industries.
