In early 2020, Nishit had informed me that he was about to launch his international magazine dedicated to global trade, transportation, and finance. I was quite happy and congratulated and wished him well. Seeing the progress that he has made since that day, I am pleased that the event has been successful and I’ve closely followed his efforts. I have known Nishit since 2007. His enthusiasm, dedication and unique style of working was evidence of his passion as a journalist. He portrayed a rare type of insight which displayed his knowledge and understanding of the maritime profession.

My association over the years gradually developed into a friendship. I am happy to note the inroads he has made in this field and appreciate the news and views expressed in the TradeMaker magazine. The output is of high calibre and I wish him every success in this venture always.

Bansi Jaising

Ex Chairman, Seagate Shipping Pvt Ltd

I first met Nishit Doshi in 2007, when I was lecturing at a conference on dry bulk shipping. I found Nishit to be a very pleasant communicator and soft spoken, a person who is keen to develop his strengths in communications and reporting for trade media. I have also observed his rhyming skills in many brief reports pertaining to current affairs and other areas. In spite of this COVID-driven period, Nishit has managed to run as well as further ‘TradeMaker’ magazine, with contributions from his dozens of international supporters. I’ve had the privilege of contributing articles at his request — especially on the international dry bulk shipping market. I wish Nishit more power, success, and fulfilled dreams; along with far-reaching contributions from and to more world leaders.

Chinmoy Bhattacharya

Proprietor, Merchant Marine Surveyors & Assayers

I know Nishit Doshi since 2014; we connected through the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS). He is quite energetic, hardworking and a sincere person. I subscribed to the very first magazine he’d launched, which featured informative news and stories related to the marine world. Later, he started TradeMaker. I immediately subscribed to that journal. It covers a lot of news and information including import/export, logistics, and of course the maritime world — which I am very much interested to read and increase my knowledge. Nishit is interested in travelling — an activity which I too immensely enjoy.

I wish him all the best. Hope he will continue to enrich our knowledge by giving valuable information through TradeMaker.

Dipak B. Shah

Director, Institute of Maritime Studies (Goa)

I know Nishit Doshi since 2012. It has been a very professional and friendly relationship. The articles of the Institute of Maritime Studies have been well-published by him — they are precisely written/edited. He’s a person with clear vision and maximum preparation. As a photographer, Nishit is a perfectionist, and quite clear as a writer. He has the passion for right words and a strong vocabulary. He is multi-talented and pays adequate attention to details. The three qualities Nishit possesses are structure, ideas and correctness. He ensures that the client is adequately portrayed in the magazine. I wish him the best for the future.

With over a decade’s experience in the maritime sphere, he has become a trailblazer in maritime journalism. Nishit has a history of association with celebrities of the maritime fraternity and has involved himself in various social and marketing strategies.

TradeMaker magazine is a superb tool for knowing the latest developments in maritime activities and transport in general. This would greatly benefit in networking of professionals with coexisting background and support relevant business objectives.

I wish Nishit the very best.

Rajesh Doshi

I’d a chance meeting with Nishit Doshi over a decade ago — at Kandla port. I would describe him as a unique personality, and am impressed by the diverse storms he has weathered. TradeMaker name coined by him for his trade magazine sounds pretty good and innovative. Unlike most media, especially those related to the maritime sphere, the all-round coverage provided by his publication gives readers a wider perspective of global trade — in which shipping is a key constituent.

Capt Ravinder M. Bakshi

Director, Novel Hospitality & Marine Services

I know Nishit ever since he’s involved with trade media. Over the years, I’ve observed that he has a lot of shipping knowledge, has a knack of obtaining and gathering news, and is well-connected with the global maritime fraternity. Coincidently, we were in the same coworking premises for a few months in 2007. He’s quite sincere and loyal, always willing to help. Nishit has brilliant writing and editing skills, is clear in financial dealings, and client satisfaction is his prime objective.

Capt Shyam Jairam

Founder & Managing Partner/CEO  Dufferin Maritime LLP

I first met Nishit Doshi at a trade event in 2007. Even though he is not a mariner nor has any shipping background, I have observed his interest and desire to learn and research about different aspects of the maritime sphere; at times approaching me too. Over the years, he has enlarged his scope of coverage to other forms of transportation too, without any formal training. I admire Nishit’s dedication and zeal for work and international outreach.

Siddhartha Rastogi

MD & COO of a leading full service investment bank

Nishit and TradeMaker are ‘bringing the world closer’. The world has never been divided, split, opinionated ever before in history to the extent it is today. It needs publications, ideations and actions to make it more unified for collective good, for collective growth, and for collective progress. Nishit and TradeMaker are doing phenomenal work in this space.

Nishit has an outstanding acumen to look and bring varied perspectives, which enable problem solving. His expert eye only satiates on excellence. His erudite, forthright and compassionate view is and will continue to bring positive changes throughout the planet through his wisdom and curation.

Wishing him luck and success.

Nishit Doshi is a sincere hardworking person, who never gives up.

Midknight Creatives and TradeMaker is the outcome of his consistent efforts and industrious nature. My support and blessings will always be with Nishit…All the best for his future endeavours.

I have known Nishit Doshi for many years. He’s a hardworking, practical and conscientious person, who is quite knowledgeable regarding shipping matters. Nishit also has a good sense of humour. TradeMaker is a very useful magazine and a must read for seafarers and the maritime fraternity.

As Chief Executive of Midnight Creatives, Nishit Doshi is one of the most seasoned, energetic and thoughtful innovators in the expansive media field, having being operational for over a decade. This entrepreneur is going a long way in carving a niche for himself — not only in the relevant fields he’s involved with, but he is also a PR specialist in the shipping ambit. He is not short on ambition and certainly dispenses his knowledge with finely honed and in-depth global product understanding.

His media experiences in different countries as well as India have given him a set of skills that reassure with honesty and sophistication. He has carefully defined many of the pertinent issues in these ambits with boundary-bending published articles in his monthly international trade magazine since February 2020. The qualities that successful entrepreneurs share are clearly present in Doshi — hard work, dedication and intuition (to name but a few).

TradeMaker has been a people’s publication for the global transportation fraternity. It is driven by the passion and vision of Nishit Doshi who is a modest connector of professionals and businesses in the segment for decades now. His reach and down-to-earth approach has always touched hearts and as a result he enjoys the respect and support of maritime business leaders. Humble beginnings of Nishit’s new venture is a case study in organic growth of an institution which has a promising future. My personal support, and that of Constellation’s, remains steadfast with his vision of growth.
