Client Testimonials
“Deep and his team helped me out assessing C-TPAT readiness at a number of facilities when I was at CNH. It was great working with his team, and CNH eventually became a validated C-TPAT member. I also had the pleasure of seeing Deep make a presentation at a FedEx seminar in Chicago, and can recommend him as a charming and effective speaker on trade issues. ”
“While at Watson Pharmaceuticals I had responsibility for securing the supply chain. One of the chief projects I managed before leaving was working to help Watson achieve US Customs C-TPAT membership and validation. A key part of this project was identifying a subject matter expert who would guide us and assist us in creating our application, etc. We selected Deep Sengupta and I can honestly say that he was the consummate professional and true subject matter expert throughout the entire process. Whether he was providing informational presentations or doing site visits with myself and our Traffic Manager, Deep was always quick to answer any question and ready to help us strengthen our supply chain security. I would recommend Deep Sengupta without any reservation. ”
