Visionary spearheads Deliver.sg's exponential rise and global ambitions

The company has been able to expand its offerings, achieve milestones, and set sights on global expansion through Krishnamani Kannan’s leadership.

In a world where adaptability, foresight, and resilience are invaluable, having an exemplary leader can make all the difference. This is the value that Krishnamani Kannan, CEO of long-distance food delivery platform Deliver.sg, possesses.

Starting with a bootstrapped budget and a local food delivery concept in 2019, Krishnamani steered the platform towards a comprehensive Deliver-as-a-Service model, understanding the evolving needs of consumers during challenging times.

Despite the implications brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, Krishnamani saw an opportunity to pivot Deliver.sg’s food delivery service into personalised customer deliveries.

His leadership allowed the company to achieve remarkable growth. Annual orders grew from 100,000 to 250,000, presenting a strong growth trajectory. His guidance and determination have also driven the company to achieve operational cash positivity and expand its footprint into countries like Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, and West Malaysia.

Furthermore, he acknowledged that the success of Deliver.sg would not have been possible without the company’s passionate team and the unwavering trust of its customers. As Deliver.sg sets its sights on global expansion and seeks external funding for strategic investments, it is clear that Krishnamani's vision, dedication, and leadership are at the heart of these endeavours.

The CEO has been honoured by the SBR Management Excellence Awards, as he brought home the Executive of the Year - Logistics category win. “His unwavering dedication, visionary approach, and ability to adapt to market shifts have played a pivotal role in the company's meteoric rise,” the company said.
