The name Adhira is of Sanskrit origin meaning “quick and strong”, said Captain Pappu Sastry, the owner of Adhira Shipping & Logistics (ASL). “So it was the perfect name for our company.”
Adhira is set to become a household name with plans to float the firm on London’s AIM market via a $100m IPO revealed at a stylish launch at the Aqua Shard restaurant in London’s Shard skyscraper this week.
