Agrocorp started as a small commodity trader in 1990. The Singapore company's trading revenues were more than US$3 billion in 2023. Founder Vijay Iyengar and his son, CEO Vishal Vijay, tell Sumiko Tan what it’s like working with family.
Mr Vijay Iyengar isn’t one to be nostalgic about past glories.
“I never look at what happened yesterday. I’m in today and tomorrow,” says the founder and executive chairman of Agrocorp, a leading agri-commodity trading and processing company.
