TRUSTED SINCE 1956

Decades of Maritime Excellence

M/S INSAN ALI & SON began in 1950, when Mr. Insan Ali, a 25-year-old visionary from Uttar Pradesh, arrived in Calcutta (currently Kolkata) with a cotton bag and a few pennies. By 1956, he established formal operations supplying provisions to commercial vessels calling at Kolkata Port.

Over the decades, the business expanded rapidly through the trust of leading international shipping lines. Today, his legacy continues into its third generation under his grandson, Mr. Abdul Rahman, carrying forward foundational values of absolute trust, fast response, and uncompromising quality service across all Indian maritime hubs.
